Derby County’s New Star Catching Eyeballs

Derby County's New Star Catching Eyeballs

Forty-six matches played, 14 wins, 13 draws, and 19 losses, a goal difference of minus eight, and 23rd place finish in the league. On just a casual look, it would look like Derby County had an underwhelming season. Unfortunately, the Rams, who survived relegation by a single point last year, could not avoid the drop to League One this time.

However, the team were hit by a 21-points deduction after going under the control of an administration. From there, it was a tough ask for Wayne Rooney‘s men, but they fought. There were many positives for the side from the current season. One of them is highly rated striker Malcolm Ebiowei. The 18-year-old burst onto the scene this season, scoring one goal and providing two assists.

Malcolm Ebiowei has earned the praise of his manager Rooney with several clubs reported to be making offers for the teenager.
