Derby boss Billy Davies was delighted to see Benny Feilhaber pen his three-year contract on Tuesday.
"Benny looked excellent in training and is a wonderful young player - we are now hoping to get his clearance as quickly as possible," said Billy Davies.
And the Rams boss has not ruled out another new face or two arriving in the next day or so but has dismissed reports linking the club with Watford striker Marlon King.
"It is speculation, and nothing more than that," said Davies.
