Cardiff City and Middlesbrough are said to be circling around the Derby County midfielder.

Derby County supporters are reacting on Twitter to reports Cardiff City and Middlesbrough are circling around Tom Huddlestone.

Cardiff have made Huddlestone a top target ahead of Thursday’s transfer deadline, while Middlesbrough could also make a late window move, according to the Sun.

Huddlestone only returned to Derby from Hull in a £2 million deal last summer, but the newspaper reports that Cardiff believe they could succeed with a similar bid.

And it adds that while new boss Frank Lampard is desperate to keep Huddlestone at Derby, it may be difficult to deny the 31-year-old a return to the Premier League if an offer comes in from the Bluebirds.

Some Derby fans certainly hope that is not the case, although others are more open to Huddlestone’s sale.

This is what they’re saying…

Middlesbrough boss Tony Pulis was linked with a move for Huddlestone while at former club West Bromwich Albion, again by the Sun.

But Derby would surely be reluctant to lose him to a likely promotion rival.
