The Derby County striker is reportedly attracting interest from former club Fulham, along with Reading and Sunderland.

Chris Martin of Derby County shoots at goal during the Sky Bet Championship match between Derby County and Burton Albion at iPro Stadium on December 2, 2017 in Derby, England.

Derby County’s Chris Martin is wanted by Fulham, Reading and Sunderland, the Sun reports on page 60 of its printed edition.

Martin spent most of last season on loan to Fulham, for whom he scored 11 goals in 34 games.

Derby tied the striker to a new three-and-a-half-year deal midway through that spell in January 2017, but he’s only started seven times under Gary Rowett, who joined the Rams in March.

Martin currently has Matej Vydra, David Nugent and Sam Winnall for company at Pride Park, with Darren Bent stepping up his recovery from a long-term injury lay-off.

Matej Vydra of Derby scores the first goal during the Sky Bet Championship match between Derby County and Nottingham Forest at iPro Stadium on October 15, 2017 in Derby, England.

It would be little surprise, therefore, to see Scotland international depart this month, with Fulham, Reading and Sunderland said to be waiting in the wings.

Fulham are making another late dart towards the Championship play-offs, and could be Martin’s preferred destination with Reading and Sunderland struggling at the bottom end of the table.

Would Martin be a good signing for Fulham, Reading or Sunderland?
