Derby are set to complete the loan signing of Poland international Przemyslaw Kazmierczak from Porto.

The 26-year-old, who has nine caps for his country, has agreed a season-long loan and will complete the formalities on his move early next week.

Rams boss Paul Jewell believes Kazmierczak has all the credentials to be a big success at Pride Park this season.

"This is a very good deal for Derby County and a signing that I think may well prove to be a great piece of business," Jewell told the club's official website.

Pedigree

"Kaz has a terrific pedigree. He has experienced Champions League football and international football, as well as playing for Porto, one of the biggest clubs in Europe.

"He is a left-footed central midfielder who can certainly play but at the same time is very strong and very physical."
