How Derby County feel about selling Patrick Agyemang as Crystal Palace & Leeds circle | OneFootball

Derby County's transfer stance on Crystal Palace and Leeds United's rumoured interest in Patrick Agyemang has been revealed.

Derby County will be looking to put together a strong run of results from now until the end of the 2025/26 season, as they target a top six finish in the Championship.

Not many would have predicted the Rams to be mounting a serious challenge for the play-offs, but under the watchful eye of John Eustace, they're a team that are heading in the right direction.

Derby are currently sat eighth in the Championship table, and will fancy their chances of picking up a positive result against Portsmouth on Monday evening in front of the Sky Sports cameras.

One player that has been key to the Rams' bid for promotion into the Premier League is Patrick Agyemang, with the 25-year-old chipping in with ten league goals so far this term.

Agyemang signed for Derby back in the summer of 2025 for a fee that could rise up to £7.3million through add-ons, and he's wasted no time in making a positive impact with the second-tier club.

It appears as though his impressive performances haven't gone unnoticed though, with Football Insider stating that Crystal Palace are set to rival Leeds United in the race to land Agyemang's signature.

Derby County's transfer stance on Patrick Agyemang

It was previously revealed by Football Insider that Derby have a 'bumper price' in mind for any clubs that are interested in signing Agyemang, which they'll hope can fend off interest in signing him in future transfer windows.

Football Insider's Pete O'Rourke stated that Agyemang's price tag will have risen since signing for the club, which won't be at all surprising to hear: "Agyemang has had a very good debut season in England for Derby. Ten goals and four assists in 33 appearances.

"Derby spent a decent fee on him when they did sign him in the summer, it was around £7million, so I’m sure his price tag has gone up since that."

In the latest report, it states that Derby aren't looking to lose the in-form forward anytime soon, although it's claimed that Agyemang will attract further interest this summer if the Rams are to fall short in their bid for promotion into the Premier League.

Patrick Agyemang's future could be decided this summer

Agyemang's arrival came with an element of risk, especially when you consider that he hadn't played a single minute of football in England.

It can sometimes be tough for players to adjust to the intensity of football in England, particularly in the Championship. However, those doubts have been swept aside now, and he's likely to be one of the first names on the teamsheet for Derby.

The Rams can move to within three points of sixth-placed Wrexham in the table with a win over Portsmouth this evening, and Derby's supporters will know the importance of potentially winning promotion this season.

Not only would it give the club a welcome financial boost, but it'll also likely mean that they can keep hold of their best players, and avoid them being poached by Premier League clubs.

Agyemang is playing at the top of his game right now, and Derby could be tempted to cash-in if their valuation of the striker is matched during the summer transfer window. Crystal Palace are certainly in need of a player of his quality, and they could be tempted to match Derby's hefty asking price of the 25-year-old.
