Derby County could be set to land Hull City centre-back Curtis Davies, as the Derby Telegraph reports that speculation of a move for the 32-year-old is growing.

According to the Mirror, Derby have met a £500,000 get-out-clause in his City contract and was at Pride Park on Tuesday to discuss a proposed three-year contract offered by the Rams.

Davies made 29 appearances for the Tigers last season but was unable to prevent his side from avoiding relegation from the Premier League.

The Rams are keen to bolster their defensive options and a potential move for Davies would tick all the right boxes.

Davies, who has 12 months remaining on his current contract at the KCOM Stadium, would add vital experience to the Derby defence.

He has over 450 appearances under his belt since breaking through the Luton Town Academy. After further spells with West Bromwich Albion, Aston Villa and Birmingham City, Davies moved to Hull City and has played 143 games since joining in 2013.
