Derby County have a glut of midfielders and a move could not be ruled out. The news has not gone down well with many Rams fans, as Russell is a player who gives his all on the pitch and has been the spark to many of the Rams wins in recent seasons.

Russell himself was disapointed in his form last season, but 50 games saw the Scot score 10 goals and his work rate has to be a plus for the Rams.

Russell cost Derby £750,000 from Dundee United in 2013

We watch the transfer market with interest over the next few days.
