Derby County are interested in signing Aden Flint from Bristol City in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 63, May 7, 2017).

According to the report, Aston Villa are also interested in signing the 27-year-old defender, who is claimed to be valued at £5 million by City. The report also claims that the Rams will match the Villans in any bid for the centre-back.

Villa and Derby are not the only clubs (reportedly) interested in signing Flint in the summer transfer window. A recent report in The Sun credited West Ham United and West Bromwich Albion with interest in the former Swindon Town man.

Flint is a good central defender and has played well in the Championship this season, and it would make sense for him to switch to a bigger and more ambitious club in the summer transfer window.

Both Derby and Villa will be aiming to finish in the top six of the Championship next season, while City could be embroiled in a relegation fight during the 2017-18 campaign.
