Derby County look set to sign Jack Marriott after they confirmed a fee has been agreed with Peterborough United.

Marriott, who scored 33 goals in all competitions last season for the Posh, has been an ongoing target for Rams boss Frank Lampard.

The fee is believed to be £2.5m rising to £5m.

Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony previously revealed last week that they had turned down three bids from Derby for the 23-year-old, who scooped the League One golden boot last term.

After being named in the Peterborough starting 11 for the friendly at Gainsborough Trinity last night, Marriott was withdrawn from the line-up at the last minute.

That added fuel to the fire of the speculation – and now a deal has been agreed.

Derby released the following statement today: “Derby County can confirm that the club has agreed an undisclosed fee with Peterborough United for the transfer of striker Jack Marriott.

“The 23-year-old will now discuss personal terms and undertake a medical.

“The club will comment further as and when appropriate.”
