Derby County boss Billy Davies admits they're expanding their global scouting network under new football advisor Craig Brown.

"We have to open up the marketplace and as a Premier League club we must have those networks in place," said Davies.

"I think we have to aim for a balance in the squad of 70 or 80 per cent British players and 20 or 30 per cent foreign players. That's what I would like to put in place."

Former Scotland boss Brown is a hugely respected figure across Europe.

"Craig has been studying a lot of players in different countries and that will be a big asset to us, and don't forget the experience he has had at international level, with World Cups and European Championships. So he is a wonderful source for us to tap into," said Davies.
