Latest Derby County news from DerbyshireLive brings you news of a player that has been linked with the Rams
Derby County have been linked with a move for Barnsley midfielder Herbie Kane on a free transfer.
The Rams are said to be keen on the former Liverpool prospect who is out of contract this summer, according to Alan Nixon.
Kane is said to want to play in the Championship after Barnsley’s failure to get promoted with the Tykes having lost in the playoffs in the last two seasons. The 25-year-old has been a big performer for Barnsley this season despite their playoff heartache having scored nine goals and registered five assists.
He won player of the month back in January but is unlikely to want to commit to a new Barnsley deal in favour of a fresh challenge. Derby will revamp their squad this summer as they plot their return to the second tier after their glorious promotion from League One and midfield is a key area particularly with Max Bird heading to Bristol City.
Speaking about his promotion hopes earlier this year, Kane had targeted promotion and said: “I’ve been close to promotion three times now, it’s frustrating and at the time you are very disappointed.
“I am trying to get as many goals and assists which is always going to help me and it reverts back to the team as well.”
“It’s something that I want to do and I’m ready to do that. Hopefully this season we can get that promotion.”
