Derby County Submit Official January Bid for Highly Rated Blackburn Attacker
Derby County have made an early statement in the January 2026 transfer window after submitting an official offer to sign a highly rated Blackburn Rovers attacker. The Rams are understood to be confident that a deal could materialise this month as they look to add more firepower to their squad.

According to reports on X, Derby County are currently leading the race for the teenager’s signature, with the club stepping up their pursuit after long-term monitoring. The attacker has been on Derby’s radar for an extended period, with the recruitment team closely tracking his development at Ewood Park.

Head coach John Eustace first signalled Derby’s interest last summer, when the club made two formal approaches for the young forward. Their second bid was believed to be worth around £2.2 million, but both offers were rejected by Blackburn Rovers, who were keen to protect one of their most promising academy prospects.
Despite those earlier setbacks, Derby have returned with renewed determination in January, submitting a fresh official bid as Eustace looks to strengthen his attacking options for the second half of the season. With Derby pushing hard in the market, optimism is growing at Pride Park that negotiations could progress positively in the coming weeks.
