Pacesetters Derby County keen to strengthen in January transfer window

Derby County coach Paul Simpson reveals that the club are keen to bring in new faces during next month's transfer window.

Derby County coach Paul Simpson has revealed that the Championship leaders are working to add new faces to the squad in next month's transfer window.

After 20 games of 2014-15, the Rams are one point clear at the top of the table after finishing third last season and agonisingly losing to Queens Park Rangers in the playoff final.

They appear on course for another lofty finish and despite having a settled squad, the East Midlands side are keen on strengthening.

"We are looking to strengthen," Simpson told BBC Radio Derby. "We are all going to games and making trips to see players on the radar.

"But at this moment it is still very early and there is nothing to report."

In what is an extremely tight top half, just 10 points separate Derby from Sheffield Wednesday in 12th.
