Derby County have finally got their man, after they confirmed the arrival of Max Johnston from Sturm Graz. The defender becomes the club's latest signing of the window, with all formalities now completed. The transfer ends speculation surrounding his future and marks a significant step in the club's push to strengthen key areas of the squad. Despite interest from Panathinaikos and Watford the deal has been made public. It's a move that brings clarity to the player's future heading into the final stretch of the season. So far in this season, Derby County are conceding 1.75 goals a game (14 in 8), more than they'd like compared to the Championship standard. The hope is Max Johnston adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Reports suggest Derby County are monitoring Lewis Travis and Alfie Gilchrist whereas Sturm Graz have not been associated with other players at this stage.
