It was a case of one step forward, two steps back for Derby County over the Easter weekend.

The Rams picked up an important home win over Luton Town on Good Friday, courtesy of goals from Lee Gregory and Graeme Shinnie.

But Wayne Rooney's side were undone in Berkshire yesterday, losing 3-1 to play-off hopefuls Reading despite Tom Lawrence's late strike.

The Rams can't quite pull away from the relegation zone at the minute, and they will be hoping to return to winning ways against the league leaders, Norwich City, this weekend.

Rooney will undoubtedly be keen to strengthen his squad in the summer, however the Rams are currently under a transfer embargo which will have to be resolved before then.

On the topic of transfers, who are Derby's best ever foreign imports? Here, we look at the top 10...

Lupoli kicks off our list.

The 33-year-old moved to Arsenal from Parma as a youngster, and had his first ever loan spell at Derby in 2006.

The Italian had a fairly impressive record in front of goal at Pride Park, and scored Derby's first hat-trick for over a decade in a 3-1 win over Wrexham.

In total, he scored 11 goals in 39 games for the Rams and chipped in with a number of assists.

He plays for Virtus Verona back in his native.

Nacer Barazite is next on our list.

Barazite moved to Derby on loan from Arsenal in 2008, and after impressing in the first half of the season, his loan deal was extended.

The midfielder scored one goal and registered six assists in over 30 appearances for the Rams, as they finished 18th in the Championship.

The Moroccan then had spells with the likes of Vitesse, Austria Wien and Monaco, and he most recently played in Thailand for Buriram United.

Olsson was a solid player for Derby during his three-year spell at Pride Park.

The left-back made 69 appearances for the Rams after joining from Blackburn Rovers in January 2016.

He scored the only goal in a 1-0 home win over arch rivals Nottingham Forest only two months after signing, which wrote him into Derby folklore.

He left the club at the end of the 2018/19 season, after failing to feature an awful lot under Frank Lampard due to the form of Scott Malone and Max Lowe.

He's now back in Sweden playing for Helsingborgs.

Mawene joined Derby from Lens in 2000 and was a good servant to the club during his four years at Pride Park.

The former defender made 60 appearances in all competitions for the Rams and was their Player of the Year in the 2003/04 campaign.

He later joined Preston North End and spent six years at Deepdale, before having spells with Panserraikos, Aberdeen and Fleetwood Town.

He's now the strength and conditioning coach at Salford City in League Two, and was a solid performer during his time at Derby.

Reich was one of the more underrated players Derby have had in recent years.

The midfielder joined from Werder Bremen in January 2004, helping them secure survival in the First Division after scoring a free-kick in the latter stages of the campaign.

The following season, Reich's five goals and eight assists in the first 16 games of the campaign saw him attract plenty of interest.

But he stayed at Pride Park and was unable to help Derby win promotion to the Premier League in 2004/05.

He later joined Crystal Palace before eventually finishing his career at Villacher SV.

Rasiak had an excellent spell at Derby.

The striker moved to Pride Park from Polish side Dyskobolia Grodzisk in September 2004 on a free transfer.

The Polish centre-forward had an excellent season in front of goal, scoring 16 goals in 35 league appearances for the Rams.

They finished fourth in the Championship that year but failed to win promotion, meaning Derby had to cash in in the summer.

Rasiak later joined Tottenham Hotspur.

Wanchope was another striker who scored plenty of goals for the club.

The Costa Rican joined from Herediano in March 1997, and scored 13 goals in 32 games in the 97/98 Premier League campaign.

The following season, nine goals in 35 games saw interest from West Ham United arrive, before a move to the London club was finalised.

After a spell at West Ham, he moved to Manchester City before having spells in Japan and USA.

He even managed the Costa Rica national team at one point, too, and was a standout performer during his time at Pride Park.

In fairness, Bielik has been unable to show his true quality in a Derby shirt since joining from Arsenal in a deal which could rise to around £10million.

The versatile midfielder has made only 34 appearances across two seasons for Derby, with the 23-year-old on the wrong end of two terrible long-term injuries.

He recently sustained another terrible ligament injury earlier this season and looks set to spend another lengthy spell on the sidelines.

But his performances have been impressive whenever he has played in a Derby shirt, and his absence has been felt on multiple occasions.

Idiakez certainly deserves a mention on this list.

The Spaniard jetted in from Rayo Vallecano in 2004, signed by George Burley on a free transfer.

The midfielder became a key player for the Rams, helping them reach the play-offs and scoring nine goals and chipping in with nine assists in his first season at Pride Park.

Idiakez was actually named in the PFA Championship Team of the Year in 2004/05, and he was also a key player the following year.

He later joined Southampton and is now the manager of Cultural Leonesa.

It's hard to ignore Vydra here.

The Czech arrived at Pride Park from Watford in 2016, penning a four-year deal after completing a move from Vicarage Road after scoring 38 goals in 95 games for the Hornets.

After scoring only five goals in his first season at Pride Park, the striker won the Championship golden boot in 2017/18 after scoring 21 goals.

He later joined Burnley and is now an important player for Sean Dyche's side in the Premier League, making 20 appearances in the top-flight this season.
