Derby County are set to make a move for Dundee United’s Jamie Robson according to a report from The Scottish Sun.

The 19-year-old defender is seen as one of the best youngsters at Dundee United, something shown when he was given his debut two years ago. He started to attract attention from south of the border this summer when reports emerged that Southampton were interested in signing him but that move did not transpire and he would go on to make 15 appearances for the Tangerines this summer.

But now it appears that another team are prepared to make a swoop for Robson. Derby are interested after being impressed with the standard of his performances in the Scottish Championship and are looking to make a £100K bid for him during the January transfer window. For someone who is very young and will still get better, that fee would be a bargain for a player who may be able to contribute straight away, never mind in a few years after some time with the developmental squad.

It could be tough for Dundee United to hold on to him as well. While they are doing well this season, they are 2nd in the Scottish Championship, the chance to move to England and play for a prestigious club like Derby is something that would be hard to turn down. It could also be a great chance to play in the Premier League as the Rams have a good chance of getting promoted from the Sky Bet Championship this season.
