Derby County are still active in the transfer market as they prepare for the upcoming season, which begins at Blackburn on August 9.
The club is making progress on a move for Swedish goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom, as they seek a replacement for Joe Wildsmith, who left at the end of last season.
If the transfer goes through, he will be the seventh signing, but head coach Paul Warne still has other positions he wants to strengthen.

After securing a goalkeeper, what should Derby prioritize next? Some might argue for a creative midfielder, while others might think a left-back and a speedy centre-back are more urgent needs.
Leigh Curtis, Derbyshire Live’s Rams writer, and Richard Cusack, a Rams fan and editor, discuss what Derby should focus on next in the transfer market.
Leigh Curtis notes that Derby’s search for a reliable striker has been prolonged and has yet to yield a long-term solution. James Collins is aging, Conor Washington has struggled with injuries, and Jerry Yates is only on loan for the season. While Kayden Jackson can play centrally, he is better suited as a wide forward.
There is a clear need for another striker, especially since Yates will miss the first three games, and Derby’s current options may not be strong enough to compete effectively.
