Derby County are aiming to re-sign Brighton defender Matt Clarke.

Sky Sports says the 23-year-old made 37 appearances on loan at the club last season and was voted Derby fans' player of the season.

As things stand, Clarke is competing with Lewis Dunk, Shane Duffy, Adam Webster, Dan Burn, Joel Veltman, Ben White and Leo Ostigard for a centre-back berth at Brighton.

Although Leeds are interested in signing White and Celtic have made enquires over Duffy, it appears Seagulls boss Graham Potter is happy to let Clarke go, with discussions between the clubs ongoing.
