Derby County are ‘considering’ a move for Tom Carroll now after his trial period.
Derby County are still looking to bring in the midfielder despite being open to offers for their current players as they look to balance the books, as detailed in a report by the Daily Mail.
Carroll, who is 29-years-old, is a free agent with his contract at QPR expiring at the end of June.
He has been spending time on trial with the Rams and is hoping to finally earn himself a deal for next season.

Carroll spent the past campaign with QPR and made 23 appearances for the Hoops in all competitions.
Career to date
The ex-England youth international rose up through the youth ranks at Tottenham Hotspur and went on to play 56 times for their first-team.
He actually had a loan spell at Derby from Spurs as a youngster and also had stints at QPR and Swansea City.
