Derby County have agreed a fee with Blackburn Rovers for Robbie Savage. The Welshman, no longer assured of first-team football at Ewood, is a good signing for Derby, but he won’t save them from the drop. He is due to have talks with Derby to agree personal terms later today.
Savage has been left out of Rovers’ squad for their previous three games and was the subject of a previous bid by Sunderland, which was turned down. He’s now 33 years old and Mark Hughes has decided that he’s surplus to requirements.
