The Story in 60 Seconds

Harry Mail of The72 argues that Derby County should pursue a January permanent transfer for Dundee United left-back Will Ferry. The writer contends that the 25-year-old defender would significantly strengthen the Rams' left side amid their ongoing injury problems and fight to escape the Championship relegation zone.

Ferry was previously targeted by Blackburn Rovers in the summer and is out of contract at the end of the season. With Derby County left-backs Craig Forsyth and Derry Murkin currently sidelined by injuries, Mail asserts that Dundee United may accept a cut-price fee in the winter window to prevent losing Ferry for free.
