Fulham and Swansea City are the early favourites to sign Derby County forward Matej Vydra according to odds given out by bookmakers Bet Victor.
Vydra had an excellent season for the Rams this season, helping them to the Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Semi-Finals, and picking up the division’s golden boot along the way.
Because of this, and Derby’s failure to achieve promotion to the Premier League, Vydra is expected to leave the club this season as they look to stabilise their finances. It seems that he may be offered his chance in the Premier League, with Fulham leading the race to sign him.
The Cottagers beat Derby County 2-1 over two legs in the Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Semi Final, and then went on to beat Aston Villa 1-0 at Wembley to book their place in the 2018/19 Premier League.
They have been given odds of 8/1 to sign the 19 cap Czech Republic international. Swansea City have just gone in the opposite direction to Fulham, but they have been given the same odds as the Cottagers to take him to Wales.
Swansea’s relegation from the Premier League was confirmed on the final day of the season, but they are already one of the early favourites to bounce straight back.
Recently relegated West Bromwich Albion are also in the race, and they have been given odds of 10/1 to sign the player who enjoyed a loan spell at the Hawthorns back in 2013/14.
Bristol City are another club that have been mentioned, and they too have been given odds of 10/1.
