Tom Lawrence is on the verge of joining Derby County from Leicester in a deal worth £7million.
The Wales international winger is undergoing a medical at Derby’s Moor Farm training base and the transfer should be concluded within 24 hours.
Derby manager Gary Rowett has been determined to add creativity and speed to his attack and identified Lawrence as a key target.
Lawrence, the former Manchester United academy graduate, scored 11 goals in an impressive loan spell at Ipswich last season, and had been pursued by a number of other Championship clubs.
