After a £1.5m bid for 31 year-old central defender Jason Shackell was rejected by Burnley, Derby County are to put in a second bid in an attempt to bring the former Rams back to his former club.
An offer thought to be around the £1.75m region is set to be offered for the 6ft 4 inch defender.
Derby hope to pair Shackell up with new signing Alex Pearce in a new central defensive partnership.
