Daniel Ayala makes the loan move to Pride Park
Derby County have finally signed their man after a lengthy chase for twenty year old Daniel Ayala.

The Spanish defender has been injured with a hamstring problem but Derby hung in to claim the defender despite set backs along the way.

Ayala had initially been due to sign before the January transfer window closed but the hamstring prevented him playing and the Rams waited until the emergency loan window opened this week to pounce.

It is not known if Daniel will feature in tomorrows Midlands derby against Leicester City despite playing for Liverpool reserves earlier this week.Ayala managed over an hour for Liverpool second team and suffered no reaction.

Derby seem to have pulled off something of a coup by landing Ayala, as several other clubs were interested in his signiture.
Despite being with Liverpool for five years Ayala has only managed five first team appearances for the Reds since his move from Savilla in 2007.

Derby now turn their attention to sourcing a striker to help pull the club clear of the relegation battle...
