Derby County are lining up a goalkeeper signing this summer, with out of favour Leicester City stopper Daniel Iversen on the transfer radar of the Rams.

First-choice goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith was let go at the end of the 2023-24 season, despite keeping 20 clean sheets in 40 appearances and winning the Golden Glove award for the third tier.

Not only that, but 36-year-old Scott Loach also retired at the end of the season, limiting Derby‘s goalkeeping options even further ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

The Rams are preparing or their first season back in the Championship under Warne, and he knows that they will require quality players to assure safety in the second tier at the first time of asking.

It’s reported that they want to sign Iversen on loan from Leicester this summer, according to a report from journalist Alan Nixon via his Patreon account.

The Danish stopper was on loan at Stoke City for the second half of the 2024-25 season, where he kept seven clean sheets in 18 Championship appearances for the Potters.

One potential issue is that it has been revealed that Iversen is set for an increase in wages following Leicester’s promotion back to the Premier League, as per Nixon’s report, but Derby hope that they can afford to cover enough of his salary to get the deal done.
