Derby County to swap Matej Vydra for Burnley striker

Derby County are set to swap Matej Vydra for Burnley’s Nahki Wells according to a report from Sky Sports News.

Vydra, a 26-year-old striker who has been capped 20 times by the Czech Republic, started his career in his native country Vysocina Jihlava before eventually heading to Italy to play for Udinese. He failed to break through there and would sign for Watford, becoming a star player for the Hornets as they were promoted to the Premier League. His permanent move to Watford flopped though and after a brief spell on loan at Reading, he soon found himself at Derby.

He has already been the subject of a lot of interest this summer with Leeds United trying to sign him last month. However they eventually pulled out of the deal and would sign Patrick Bamford instead. But the interest in Vydra is still there and he could now be set for a return to the Premier League with Burnley being interested. The Clarets are big fans of him and so the Rams don’t have to rush around to sign a new striker, they are planning to use Nahki Wells as a makeweight.

Much like Vydra, Wells, a 28-year-old striker who has been capped eight times by Bermuda, started in his native country though it is fair to say Bermuda is a very different country to the Czech Republic. After stints with the Dandy Town Hornets and the Bermuda Hogges, he headed to England to sign for Carlisle United. That did not last long and he soon signed for Bradford City where he made his name, notably in their run to the Capital One Cup final. After a spell with Huddersfield Town he ended up with Burnley but has struggled to break into their first team hence why they are willing to use him to try and sign Vydra.
