Gary Rowett is poised to boost Derby's push for the Premier League with the £1.5 million capture of Cameron Jerome, the Norwich forward.

Jerome will have a medical at Derby’s training ground on Tuesday after Norwich accepted an offer from the Championship promotion chasers.

Rowett, the Derby manager, has moved for Jerome in a bid to strengthen his squad ahead of the final run-in as the club attempt to return to the top flight for the first time since 2008.

Jerome, 31, has not started a league game for Norwich since the 2-1 defeat at Bolton on November 4 and is being made available to raise funds for manager Daniel Farke.

Rowett has been a long-term admirer of the former Stoke striker and will clinch his signature ahead of rivals Cardiff, another of Jerome's former clubs.
