Silly Season has only just begun and already Derby County are linked with numerous transfer targets. The latest is 27 year-old striker Sone Aluko. Aluko can also play as a winger.
The Hull City man is out of contract in the summer and the rumour mongers have already started talks of a swoop by Nigel Pearson, even though he has barely put his legs under the managers table at the Ipro and the ink is still wet on his personal contract.
So getting back to Aluko, as stated he is 27 years old, a good age for a striker and has been succesful at both English and Scottish top tier clubs, clubs range from Birmingham (Prem) Aberdeen (SPL) Rangers (SPL) and Hull City (Prem)
Internationally he has played for England at U16,17,18 and U19 level before changing his alliegance and playing U20 and U23 level for Nigeria before finally getting his chance in the full Nigerian squad, for whom he has now played 7 games and scored 2 goals
His career goals to games ratio is 6.64 games per goal having played 259 times and scored 39 goals.
Sone was a non played substitute when the Rams lost the first leg of the Championship play-off semi final 0-3 at the Ipro
