Derby County have completed their 10th signing of the 2024 summer transfer window.
It has been a hectic couple of months at Pride Park as Paul Warne aims to keep the Rams in the Championship beyond the 2024/25 season.
A number of names arrived at Derby County ahead of pre-season but the incomings have continued to flow into the proper campaign.
After much delay, Derby finally signed Jacob Widell Zetterstrom from Swedish side Djurgardens on August 16th.
Following their arrival of a new number-one shot-stopper, Warne has turned his attention toward other areas of the pitch.
Derby continue to be linked with a new striker, while Warne wanted another midfielder for the Rams before deadline day.
The Derby boss was hopeful a new signing would be made this week and on Monday afternoon, he got his wish.

Tawanda Chirewa sends message to Derby County fans
The club have now confirmed the signing of Tawanda Chirewa on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers for the 2024/25 season.
The 20-year-old is an attacking midfielder by trade but is very versatile, able to operate all through the middle and on both flanks.
After completing his move to Derby, Chirewa sat down with the club’s media for his first interview as a Ram.
The Zimbabwe international took that opportunity to send a message to the Debry fans, who he dubbed ‘amazing’.
He said: “It’s brilliant, brilliant training ground, a lot of pitches, brilliant staff. Everything has been good.
“The fans, supporters, amazing. It was loud, fantastic, amazing. Hopefully tomorrow against Barrow it’s our day.
“I knew I wanted to come here and meet the player and play under him [Paul Warne].”

Can Tawanda Chirewa play for Derby County against Barrow
Derby are next in action on Tuesday evening when they face off with Barrow in the second round of the League Cup.
The Rams beat local rival Chesterfield 2-1 in the first round of the competition and are favourites to progress this week as well.
Derby fans will no doubt be eager to see Chirewa make his debut for the club and it could happen this week.
The former Ipswich Town academy product was signed ahead of the registration deadline, meaning he is available to feature if Warne wishes him to.
Chirewa is yet to make an appearance at any level this season so a start may be unlikely, but there is a chance he could be brought off the bench at some point during the 90 minutes.
