Leeds United, Fulham and Derby County have been linked with Middlesbrough striker David Nugent in the January transfer window.
Middlesbrough striker David Nugent will join Derby County in the January transfer window, according to The Sun.
According to the British tabloid, Championship club Derby would have to pay Premier League outfit Middlesbrough a transfer fee of £3 million in order to secure the services of Nugent.
Derby manager Steve McClaren reportedly wanted to sign Jordan Rhodes from Boro, but the Rams are claimed to have been priced out of a deal for the 26-year-old striker.
Nugent has struggled to make an impact for Middlesbrough so far this season, featuring just four times in the Premier League.
During the 2015-16 campaign, the 31-year-old striker scored eight goals and created 37 chances in 37 Championship matches for Boro.
The former Leicester City striker has also been linked with two other Championship clubs.
According to a report on West London Sport earlier this month, Fulham and Leeds United are interested in the Boro man.
Fulham and Leeds would be disappointed if Championship rivals Derby get to secure the services of Nugent in the January transfer window.
