Derby County are thought to be looking to invest in the January transfer window.
Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has kept very coy, when asked if Derby County are interested in Jack Marriott.
Marriott is the top scorer in the Football League, after enjoying a brilliant season at Posh so far.
Peterborough only signed Marriott from Luton Town last summer, but his stock has rapidly risen, and he is now very much in demand ahead of the January transfer window.
Twitter rumours have now suggested that Derby could be interested in signing the 23-year-old front man.
And when MacAnthony was asked whether the Rams did have their eyes on Marriott, he gave an intriguing response.
MacAnthony is generally quick to bat away untrue media speculation, despite his denial over commenting on any transfer rumours.
Derby are thought to be keen to invest in January, as they look to strengthen their promotion bid.
Gary Rowett’s side are currently in second place in the Championship table, and look to be among the favourites make it into the Premier League.
