The Rams are hoping to seal a deal for the midfielder who was exceptional last season
Ebou Adams is closing in on a move to Derby County with the Rams preparing to make him their fifth signing of the summer.
Adams was left out of Cardiff’s pre-season defeat to Kidderminster on Wednesday night with boss Erol Bulut confirming afterwards that a deal is close. Derby will hope to finalise the deal for a player they have been chasing for the majority of the summer following his excellent spell on loan last season.
The Rams will have to pay a fee for the ex-Forest Green Rovers midfielder who has a year left on his contract plus the option of another 12 months. But there is increasing hope that a deal can be done and the fans have certainly given the switch their backing for a player who remains hugely popular at Pride Park having made 17 appearances and scored one goal, which was a crucial winner against Blackpool.
Fans on DerbyshireLive have been talking about the potential of seeing Adams in black and white next season and here’s what they had to say.
Ramsfan67: “Let’s get him signed and through the door then turn our attention to goalkeepers.”
Gavinduenas: “Excellent news, fingers crossed. We had been crying out for a player like Adams for years and years, and his signing arguably made the difference to our promotion challenge. It would be great to bring him in permanently.”
SingaporeSling: “I hope this comes to fruition. Ebou deserves his chance at Derby.”
Laughatthebottlers: “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas …getting exciting now guys.”
FarnRam: “He was terrific last season, and clearly enjoying his football. Would be good to see how he competes in the league above. Fingers crossed.”
