Derby County missed out on Brentford star in summer transfer window

Derby County missed out on Brentford star Sergi Canos over the summer as they had lined him up as a replacement for Harry Wilson according to HITC.

The Rams are looking to strengthen in forward areas in January as they look to push further up the Championship table as they currently lie in a disappointing 16th place in the league.

Having lost their manager Frank Lampard who has since taken up the reins at his beloved Chelsea, this was always going to be a season of transition for the East Midlands side.

As well as a change of manager they have also had to deal with the losses of Player of the Year, Fikayo Tomori and attacking midfielder Mason Mount joined up with Lampard at Chelsea as they returned to their parent club.

They also lost Harry Wilson, who scored 18 goals in all competitions in the last campaign as he returned to his parent club Liverpool and has since gone on to flourish on loan at Premier League side AFC Bournemouth.

Derby have only scored 18 goals in their 16 Championship games thus far and this is something they will be looking to significantly improve on in the second half of the season should they wish to push for a play-off place.

Derby were linked to many players during the summer including the skilful Spaniard Sergi Canos who was in fantastic form for Brentford during 2018/19, contributing nine goals and seven assists.

The playmaker has wonderful vision and an eye for a pass which could have given the Rams more of a cutting edge this season that they have so far been lacking.

Canos is currently out with a knee injury so he may not be the acquisition which Derby will be looking at but additions will be needed if they are to mount a serious promotion push this season.
