Derby County have not as yet confirmed or denied the speculation and it is a surprise with the Rams still leading the charge for a Premiership place for the 2007-08 season. The Rams will clearly need quality players should they gain promotion and Barnes has been rated as one of the top young midfield players in the country at the moment.
The 18 year-old could be joining former Rams midfielder Tom Huddlestone who moved to Spurs in 2005 for a reported £2.5m. There has recently been some speculation at a row concerning further payments of this sum that the Rams claim they are owed. This we assume will have been sorted out prior to any arrangement being entered into for Barnes.
