Derby are closing in on signing Watford midfielder Ikechi Anya and is set to join for £4m, Sky sources understand.
Anya joined the Hornets three years ago from Granada and has made 109 appearances for Watford.
The Scotland international started 17 Premier League games last season but has only managed nine minutes for Watford this term and was not part of the matchday squad for Saturday's 3-1 loss to Arsenal.
Anya has been given permission to leave the Scotland squad's hotel in Marr Hall, just outside Glasgow to travel to Derby to discuss terms.
The Glasgow-born midfielder began his career at Wycombe before playing in the lower leagues followed by spells with Sevilla's B team and Celta Vigo.
