In a recent update by Fotboll Direkt, the ongoing transfer saga between Derby County and Djurgårdens IF goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterström is nearing its conclusion, with an official announcement expected imminently.

After a productive meeting with the Championship outfit earlier this week, Zetterström has reportedly given his nod to the prospective move. The transfer fee earmarked for the talented goalkeeper is believed to be slightly over £2 million, with potential additional payments that could escalate the total sum to £600,000.

Last week, Zetterström had expressed his enthusiasm about the possibility of plying his trade in the English football landscape, describing it as a cherished dream. With developments pointing towards a positive outcome, it appears that the 26-year-old’s ambitions are on the verge of being fulfilled through this impending switch to Derby County.

Anticipating Zetterström’s departure, Djurgårdens IF is said to be actively scouting for a suitable replacement in goal. One of the names on their radar is Jacob Rinne from Al Fateh, with Filip Sidklev from Brommapojkarna also emerging as a potential candidate to fill the void left by Zetterström’s imminent departure.

Having racked up 15 league appearances for Djurgårdens IF this season, Zetterström remains contracted to the Swedish outfit until June 2025. Hailing from Stockholm, the promising shot-stopper earned his first cap for the Swedish national team last year, marking a significant milestone in his career as he gears up to embark on a new chapter with Derby County.
