Derby boss Nigel Clough set to swoop for Foxes forward

Derby County boss Nigel Clough is ready to snap up Leicester City striker DJ Campbell - and give him a spin in his team.

Clough wants to land out-of-favout Campbell on loan before the window for short-term deals closes later this week.

Campbell is keen to get some first-team action and could move across the East Midlands to Pride Park where Clough has been struggling to keep his strikers fit so far this season.

The Foxes have already helped their neighbours by giving them veteran Scot Paul Dickov and boss Nigel Pearson seems set to agree to the Campbell switch.
