English Championship outfit Derby County win race to sign forward Patrick Agyemang

Derby County have won the race to sign USA international of Ghanaian descent Patrick Agyemang in the ongoing summer transfer window.

The English Championship outfit are keen on bolstering their squad for the new campaign in an attempt to make a meaningful impact. However, the Championship club are said to have won the race to snap up the talented attacker, beating off competition from RC Lens and OGC Nice.

Agyemang had been a target for the French outfit, with both in need of attacking reinforcements this summer. However, he is now set to finalise his transfer to the Championship side.

Agyemang has been impressive in the ongoing Major League Soccer camping for Charlotte FC, scoring eight goals and providing two assist in 18 appearances.

The 24-year-old forward has previously been on the radar of several English second-division clubs over the past year. He’s been one of Charlotte FC’s best attacking threats over his three MLS seasons, totaling 17 goals and four assists in 59 league appearances

Agyemang is currently with the U.S. men’s national team at the CONCACAF Gold Cup, where he’s scored twice in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.

Derby County avoided relegation back to EFL League One last season, finishing outside of the relegation zone by one point. John Eustace’s Rams will open the 2025-26 Championship season at Stoke City on August 9.
