Derby County are reportedly in a battle with Charlton Athletic for Fulham midfielder Luke Harris.
Harris is approaching the last year of his contract at Craven Cottage and could be allowed to leave the Premier League side this summer.
The midfielder spent last season on loan at Derby head coach John Eustace’s previous club Birmingham City in League One.
Harris is now said to be on the radar of Derby, who are keen to strengthen their midfield as they look to wrap up a £5.8m switch for Charlotte FC striker Patrick Agyemang.
Derby’s midfield currently includes Ebou Adams, Ben Osborn, Kenzo Goudmijn, and Liam Thompson, but it is open to further additions.
Harris struggled for game time with Blues last season owing to the form of Tomoki Iwata and Seung-Ho Paik. Only 10 of his 29 appearances were starts in League One; he made 36 appearances in all competitions and scored four goals.
However, the Wales international does have Premier League experience, having burst into the Fulham team and featured against Aston Villa and Manchester City.
He was then sent out on loan to Exeter in January 2024,a spell which yielded four goals in 21 appearances. He played against Derby who romped to a 3-0 win on their way to promotion.
His potential has previously led to his being linked to big-money moves, amid claims that Chelsea were considering a £30m move three years ago.
Harris is not the only central midfielder Derby have been linked with. They have also been touted as contenders for the signing of Lewis Travis from Blackburn.
