Linked with him again today in the Telegraph - but then again so are Forest . . . 

 

"DERBY County have yet again been mentioned in connection with in-demand Blackburn Rovers striker Jordan Rhodes - and so have East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest.

Rhodes scored 21 goals for Blackburn in the season just ended and was frequently linked with other clubs, notably the Rams , during transfer windows.

The latest speculation suggests that Middlesbrough, having just missed out on promotion to the Premier League this year, are ready to offer £6m to take Rhodes to the Riverside.

They would apparently like to get former Rams loanee Patrick Bamford back for another spell after he scored 17 goals for them on loan from Chelsea  last season - and pair him with Rhodes up front in what would be a potentially outstanding partnership.

But it is suggested that both Derby and Forest might also be prepared to renew their interest in Rhodes after seasons which eventually fell short  of expectations for both clubs.

Meanwhile, another of the Rams' Championship rivals, Leeds United , may be about to offer controversial midfielder Joey Barton the next step in his career.

The 32-year-old is a free agent after being released by Queens Park Rangers , who were relegated back to the Championship at the end of the season.

Leeds finished 15th after a tumultuous year off the field and appointed former Wigan Athletic boss Uwe Rosler as their new manager at the beginning of May."
