Aston Villa forward Andreas Weimann is poised to join Derby County this week in a £2.5million deal.

Manager Paul Clement is quickly building a squad to challenge for promotion having already signed Wigan goalkeeper Scott Carson, Reading defender Alex Pearce and Weimann's former team-mate Darren Bent on a free from Aston Villa.

Derby also remain keen on a deal for Hull City winger Tom Ince.

The Championship club are able to enact a £4.5million clause to sign the England U21 international owing to the terms of his loan agreement last season.

Weimann, 23, is an Austria international and scored four goals in 35 appearances last season.

Villa right-back Matthew Lowton, 26, remains a target for Burnley as they look to replace Kieran Trippier who is destined for Tottenham but is a back-up option for Liverpool if they fail to sign Nathaniel Clyne from Southampton.
