Just In 🚨: Hamza Choudhury has just made his final decision on his future at the club after the interest shown by Derby County. This is the decision he has made that has surprised everyone.

Derby County are in talks with Leicester City over a potential deal for defensive midfielder Hamza Choudhury, with the Championship club understood to be pushing for a permanent transfer.

The 28-year-old has emerged as a target for Derby as they look to strengthen their squad, and discussions are believed to be underway between the two clubs regarding a possible move.

It’s understood #DCFC would like a permanent deal for the Bangladesh international, rather than pursuing a temporary arrangement.

Choudhury’s current situation at Leicester could make an agreement possible, with the midfielder having entered the final year of his contract at the King Power Stadium.

Choudhury has spent the majority of his career with Leicester, developing through the club’s academy before establishing himself in the first team.

His versatility and experience could make him an attractive addition for Derby as they continue to shape their squad.

The midfielder has also gained international experience with Bangladesh, adding further value to his profile as Derby assess their options.

Choudhury’s contract situation means Leicester could face a decision over whether to cash in on the player this summer or risk losing him for nothing when his current deal expires.

For Derby, negotiations are now expected to continue as they attempt to reach an agreement with Leicester and secure Choudhury on a permanent basis.
