Derby County’s return to the Championship was less than ideal, as they suffered a tough 4-2 defeat at the hands of Blackburn Rovers. This loss highlighted some defensive weaknesses, but there’s still plenty of hope among fans at Pride Park, especially with the recent additions of players like Kayden Jackson.
The Rams are now setting their sights on strengthening their squad further by targeting Sheffield Wednesday’s Marvin Johnson. The 33-year-old, who has been instrumental in Sheffield Wednesday’s success since joining in 2021, has garnered interest from several clubs. Known for his versatility, Johnson has been deployed across multiple positions, from left midfield to left-back, despite originally being a winger.
With his contract running until 2025, it’s unclear whether Sheffield Wednesday will entertain offers for him. Johnson’s recent performance, where he contributed to a goal just minutes after coming off the bench in a 4-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle, could make him a valuable asset for the Owls in their Championship campaign.
However, Derby County is keen on adding Johnson’s experience to their squad. The Rams’ fan base, represented by Football League World’s pundit Shaun Woodward, is enthusiastic about the potential signing. Woodward expressed that Johnson’s consistent performances against Derby have always impressed him, citing Johnson’s stamina, crossing ability, and goal-scoring potential as reasons why he would be a great fit for the team.
As Derby County continues to bolster their lineup, the addition of a player with Johnson’s Championship experience could prove crucial. His presence would bring depth to the squad and possibly provide the defensive solidity that the Rams currently need.
