Derby County Adam Pearson says investment talks are continuing with interested parties.

"We're still trying to get investment in and if that happens the situation will change," he said.

"We hope to have something in the new year, but it is by no means nailed on, so we are going into this window trading as we are.

"That means we're going to invest some money and we're going to trade some players in and out. We're going to try and freshen it up. We're going to try and get Paul the players that he wants."
