Derby County have until 11pm on Monday to make their final additions to the squad with Paul Warne targeting a number of additions.

A midfielder, winger and defender are on the agenda as the club prepares to add to its squad for the final time this month.

Derby are also preparing for outgoings, with Eiran Cashin closing in on a move to Brighton. The club is holding out for a £10m fee from the Premier League side.

But who are Derby looking at to potentially fill the positions in their squad? Here is a rundown of all their reported targets this month.

Oscar Fraulo

The Danish midfielder had reportedly been a target for Derby with Fraulo currently on loan at Utrecht from Borussia Monchengladbach.

But there were reports that the German side were not happy with the players lack of starts in recent weeks.

Derby were said to be willing to take him on loan but it now looks like he will be staying at Utrecht for the rest of the campaign.

Fraulo would have ticked Derby's box for a creative midfield player given he can play as a six or an eight. That is a position Derby are looking to fill before the window closes at 11pm on Monday night.

Dan Barlaser

The Middlesbrough midfielder has been the subject of firm interest from Derby as they look to add a midfielder to the squad before the close of play on Monday.

Boro would be willing to sanction his exit as they look to revamp their own squad ahead of the window closing on Monday. Warne has worked with Barlaser before at Rotherham where the latter's performances earned him a seven-figure switch to the Riverside.

Blackburn Rovers are also reportedly interested but that would seem a strange move for Boro to make given they are just below Michael Carrick's side in the battle for a place in the top six.

Derby have already raided Middlesbrough this month having signed Matt Clarke on a permanent deal with the defender heading back to Pride Park for his third spell at the club.

Bobby Clark

Murmurs have started to surface that Derby hold an interest in Bobby Clark, a player that Derby have been long-term admirers of. He was a target last season when the club were in League One and there are rumours that Clark is keen on a move back to England.

He only joined RB Salzburg in the summer as he made the switch to leave Liverpool in the summer to join Pep Lijnders who was appointed as manager.

But Lijnders was axed with Salzburg sitting fifth in the Austrian Bundesliga and that has led to speculation over Clark's future. The midfielder has made 20 appearances for Salzburg this season but Dave OKop has reported that Rangers, Derby Hull and Swansea are interested in bringing him back to England on a six-month loan deal.
