David Ozoh is reportedly the subject of advanced talks between Derby and Crystal Palace, who are negotiating terms ahead of a possible transfer. The midfielder has long been on the radar of Derby, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch. Progress on talks has been made, though a final agreement is not yet in place and other clubs are said to be weighing-up whether to join the race for his signature. The transfer remains in progress, and with no other clubs involved, Derby look to be negotiating from a comfortable position. Derby's 26/27 record of 2.33 goals conceded per game shows they're missing balance in midfield. Someone like David Ozoh could give them more structure and help them manage games. Crystal Palace have also been linked with Malick Fofana, Honest Ahanor and Oumar Solet while Derby are reportedly monitoring Henrik Meister, Hamza Choudhury and Ben Brereton.
