Derby County are one of a number of clubs who are interested in signing Norwich City striker Jordan Hugill, according to a new transfer report.

The Lowdown: Hugill out of favour at Norwich

The 30-year-old has forged an impressive career down the years, racking up a total of 51 goals in 252 appearances in the Championship.

Hugill has found himself almost completely out of favour at Norwich so far this season, however, failing to make a single league start and appearing just seven times as a substitute.

It could make sense then that the striker is allowed to leave this month, which is where Derby come into play.

The Latest: Derby eyeing up move

According to Football Insider, the Rams are keen on signing Hugill in the coming weeks, with Birmingham City, Rotherham and Reading also mentioned in the report.

Norwich are 'open to offers' for the veteran attacker in January, with his current deal expiring at the end of the season.

The Verdict: Proven quality

Hugill is someone who could aid Derby's promotion push in League One in the second half of the season, with Paul Warne's side currently fourth in the division.

As mentioned, the Englishman has proven himself over an extended period in the Football League and he could just give the Rams that extra bit of firepower and match-winning ability.

Hugill was once hailed as 'unbelievable' by Tony Pulis, in terms of his attitude, and he could be a really shrewd and experienced signing by Derby if they manage to get a deal over the line.
