Sources: Derby County expect Jacob Zetterstrom offer as Leeds plot swoop

Derby County are expecting offers for goalkeeper Jacob Zetterstrom amid interest from Leeds United, sources have told Football Insider.

The Premier League club are chasing a move for the 27-year-old this summer, while Eintracht Frankfurt and Wolves are also keen admirers.

Derby are understood to be "wary" of the interest that has built up in their number one, who is into the final year of his contract at Pride Park.

Sources have indicated that the Rams are aware that it will be hard for them to keep Zetterstrom amid Leeds' interest, and believe this could be their best chance to cash in on him.

Daniel Farke and Co. view the Sweden international as one of their top goalkeeping targets, as they bid to find a new starter between the posts.

Zetterstrom has enhanced his reputation at the World Cup, as he made a stunning nine saves during his country's defeat to France in the Round of 32.

Stats show Jacob Zetterstrom among leading Championship goalkeepers

Zetterstrom has regularly been on the radar of Premier League clubs since he joined Derby back in 2024, and Leeds are the latest to become strong admirers of his ability.

The West Yorkshire outfit are weighing up all their options in terms of their goalkeeping targets, and are determined to get a new face through the door before the start of next season.

Zetterstrom has now emerged as a clear target for them, after a campaign that saw him establish himself among the Championship's best 'keepers.

His tally of seven clean sheets stood him in the middle of the road in the second tier, but he excelled when it came to individual stats in 2025-26.

Zetterstrom's tally of 5.5 goals prevented stood him third among all Championship goalkeepers in that department, while he also ranked in the division's top five for both save percentage and saves per 90.

His performances have been enough for clubs across Europe to sit up and take notice, with Leeds one of the leading contenders to sign him at the moment.

Leeds backed to sign another World Cup goalkeeper

Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider earlier this week that Leeds are likely to look at Norway goalkeeper Orjan Nyland as an option this summer.

The free agent has impressed as part of the Nordic nation's surprise run to the quarter finals, where they will meet England on Saturday night.

Brown made it clear that Leeds have several scouts over in North America keeping an eye on the tournament, and identifying goalkeeping talent is a top priority.

Both Nyland and Zetterstrom have been earmarked as potential options for them, as they aim to find a long-term replacement for Lucas Perri.
