Overview
- Jamie Allen is a free agent after leaving Coventry City following their promotion, and local outlets report he has been released this month.
- Football League World says Derby County and Queens Park Rangers are both tracking the 31‑year‑old, but no official offers or signings have been confirmed.
- Derby continue to pursue midfield reinforcements while working to finalise a near-£6m deal for Bobby Clark, a move local coverage describes as a priority for the club.
- Derby head coach John Eustace has favoured pairing experienced recruits with young talent, a policy shown last season when Carlton Morris helped Patrick Agyemang develop.
- Allen spent seven years at Coventry, made more than 200 appearances and received praise from Frank Lampard for his on-field and dressing-room impact, factors that explain why Championship clubs would value him.
