Derby County have reportedly accepted a £1.75million bid from Cardiff City for midfielder Craig Bryson.

Premier League new boys Cardiff City have allegedly had a seven-figure bid accepted by Derby County for midfielder Craig Bryson.

The Rams have accepted a £1.75million offer for the Scotsman from recently promoted club Cardiff, according to the Express.

Frank Lampard’s side are yet to grant Cardiff permission to open personal talks with the 31-year-old about a move, but their manager Neil Warnock is keen to wrap up a deal.

Bryson was loaned out to Cardiff last season and made 22 appearances in all competitions, as he helped them secure automatic promotion from the Championship.

Bryson has been with Derby since 2011 and is a senior player at the iPro Stadium, which is why the departure of a fan favourite would certainly be hard for a selection of supporters to take.

He is a no-nonsense central midfielder that has racked up 246 appearances for the Rams and showed some goal-scoring prowess, too, with 39 goals in that time.

Bryson could be set for his first crack of the Premier League if his move to Cardiff goes through and personal talks looks like being the only obstacle now.

Meanwhile, new manager Lampard is currently assessing the squad during pre-season and will hope he has a group of players that can launch a promotion bid in the Championship in the upcoming campaign.
