are said to be very interested in buying one of the best prospects outside of the Premiership. Scunthorpe United defender Jamie McCombe is said to be the target.

His reputation was enhanced by an Observer newspaper poll that placed him in the top ten young prospects outside the Premiership. At 6ft 6 inches tall and only 19 years of age he certainly looks the part.

Rams scouts have been to watch McCombe in recent months and the youngster is said to be valued at around £750,000

The only problem the Rams may have in securing the defenders signature is their impending drop out of the Premiership and the fact that both Aston Villa and now Tottenham Hotspur have joined the chase.
