Leacock Linked with Town

Derby County’s central defender Dean Leacock has been linked with Ipswich Town along with Championship duo Coventry City and Hull.

Leacock, 23, is believed to be one of the several players involved in the summer clear-out at Pride Park as Derby look to make space for new arrivals.

Leacock, a product of Fulham’s academy, operates primarily in the heart of defence but can also play as a holding midfielder as he has done for much of Derby’s disastrous Premier League season.
