Derby County are looking to sneak into the play-off places before the end of the season and you'd not back against them given their record.

Certainly, that will be Phillip Cocu's main aim in the coming weeks but, away from that, he might also be thinking about the summer.

Here, we're taking a look at 8 free agents that could be available, if the Rams felt that they were the right fit...

Beram Kayal is a player with Premier League experience and his contract is up in the summer. Could he be worth a look?

Swansea might not be able to keep van der Hoorn past the summer and he's a player with PL experience.

Kyle Edwards has got plenty of talent but it's unclear if West Brom want to keep him. Perhaps Phillip Cocu would feel he can help develop him.

Fox's future remains uncertain despite impressing for Sheffield Wednesday. Could Derby steal in?

Hull City midfielder Jackson Irvine could bring some extra energy to the Derby midfield - particularly if the Tigers go down.

Harry Cornick is a busy attacking player and if Luton go down he might want to stay put in the second tier. Is he worth a punt?

Stephen Kingsley is available and could be an option to bring in as a decent squad player with Championship experience.

Rhodes is yet to rediscover his form that once made him such a star. If Chris Martin leaves, could Rhodes be a decent addition to the squad? Working with Wayne Rooney could help him firing once more.
