Derby County faces a crucial summer ahead of their Championship return after a two-season absence, with the potential re-signing of Ebou Adams on the horizon. Manager Paul Warne will lead the charge in revamping the squad, with several prominent departures and contract renewals looming. Adams, a standout performer during his loan spell, has emerged as a key target for the Rams this season. His commanding presence in midfield proved pivotal in securing victories and fortifying the team’s defensive capabilities.

As Derby aims to solidify their place in the second tier, securing Adams on a permanent deal could further bolster their midfield, following the departure of key players. With talks of a potential transfer in motion, Adams’ future at Pride Park hangs in the balance, awaiting a decision from Cardiff City. Should the Bluebirds decide to part ways with the talented Gambian player, Derby is poised to make a move to secure his services for the upcoming campaign. This strategic move underscores the club’s commitment to building a competitive roster as they prepare for a challenging season in the Championship.

John Percy has shared an update on the ongoing talks surrounding Adams, revealing that Derby is in discussions to secure the midfielder. Additionally, the club is poised to welcome Jerry Yates and Kayden Jackson to their squad shortly, following the recent permanent signings of Ben Osborn and Corey Blackett-Taylor.

Reporter Darren Witcoop added that there is a strong belief within the club that a deal for Adams will materialize soon. Simultaneously, Derby is also eyeing Hull City’s Ryan Longman as a potential addition. The agreements for strikers Kayden Jackson and Jerry Yates are nearly finalized.

Derby is optimistic about reaching an agreement with Ebou Adams, with negotiations underway with Cardiff. The club is confident that a deal with Cardiff will be reached, while also exploring the possibility of acquiring Ryan Longman from Hull. The signings of strikers Kayden Jackson and Jerry Yates are almost complete.

Adams, who struggled with injuries during his time at Cardiff City, is expected to make a permanent return to Pride Park this summer. Derby fans are eager to see his return, given his impressive performances under Warne and his growing popularity among supporters.

Having excelled in breaking up opposition attacks and initiating counterattacks during his previous spell at Derby, Adams could once again become a key figure in the midfield for the club in the upcoming season.
