Bristol City are ramping up their interest in experienced free agent Curtis Davies as Derby’s takeover drags on.
Rams boss Wayne Rooney and his players are waiting for Chris Kirchner’s takeover being completed. Kirchner exchanged contracts with Derby administrators last week to buy the crisis-hit club but the agreement is subject to a third party buying the stadium and leasing it back.
Derby player of the year Davies is out of contract and one of several players being chased by rival clubs after his outstanding individual season in the Championship. He played every game this term at centre-back and scored four goals for County who are in League One next term after finishing 23rd after being deducted 21 points.
