Derby County fans will love how Eiran Cashin has reacted to the announcement of David Ozoh's addition

Derby County enjoyed a better deadline day than most, as after a difficult summer, the Rams made sure to end the window on a high, with one signing reacting to the announcement of another.

Derby kicked off their window in typical John Eustace fashion by re-signing a player the former Birmingham City and Blackburn Rovers head coach has previously worked with, as Bobby Clark and Sammie Szmodics have both returned to Pride Park on permanent deals after successful loans last year.

Elsewhere, Charlie Taylor, Filip Bilbija, Alex Mowatt, Ryan Hedges, and Henrik Meister followed before deadline day, as the Rams' summer spending had been scuppered after an investment deal from Saudi government official Turki Alalshikh collapsed.

However, that didn't prevent them from having a blinder of a deadline day, and completing some excellent business in the final hours, with one permanent arrival reinvigorating an entire fanbase.

With the clock ticking closer to the deadline, Derby were running out of time to get some much-needed deals over the line, but did not waver, each of Eiran Cashin, Mohammad Fuseini, and David Ozoh all penned deals at Pride Park.

Cashin joins on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion, returning to the club where he initially made a name for himself 18 months after leaving, Fuseini joins on loan from Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium, and Ozoh has signed a five-year deal at the club for around £4 million from Crystal Palace.

Ozoh spent two years on loan with the Rams previously, initially being brought to the club by current MK Dons boss Paul Warne, but continued to impress under Eustace despite his injury struggles.

Now, the 21-year-old is a Derby player for the foreseeable future, as Rams supporters will love the way Cashin has reacted to this news.

With Derby announcing the permanent addition of Ozoh on a five-year deal, you would do well to find a Rams supporter who isn't buzzing with this news.

The Nigerian has made 43 league appearances in two seasons for the club, and had it not been for injuries, it would be a lot more, though had he been available more, maybe they wouldn't have had the chance to sign him permanently.

Numerous Derby teammates such as Clark, Szmodics, Lewis Travis, and Derry Murkin have reacted to the news of Ozoh's return, but Cashin's response takes the cake.

The Irish centre-back shared the dressing room for a matter of months with Ozoh, though the two have remained friends thereafter, as the Brighton loanee has reacted to this news with a meme of UFC commentator and American podcaster Joe Rogan looking blown away.

Now, the pair are reunited at Pride Park once more, and could share the pitch once again as early as this weekend when Eustace's side travel to the London Stadium to take on West Ham United.

Having completed deals for Cashin and Ozoh along with Fuseini on deadline day, Eustace will be ecstatic with the way Derby's window ultimately panned out after some frustrating moments.

With Murkin and Matt Clarke injured for the foreseeable future, Cashin could slot straight into the side on the left of the defence, whilst Travis' injury could pave the way for Ozoh to go straight back into the side.

Eustace will be hoping for an immediate impact from the pair, as Derby look to continue climbing the Championship table following their 3-0 win at Portsmouth on Tuesday night.
