American billionaire to take over at Derby County?

American billionaire Michael Dell is reportedly in discussions with Championship outfit Derby County.

Over the past two years, Rams owner Mel Morris has been continually searching for additional investment in the East Midlands club.

According to The Telegraph, that could potentially be provided by Dell, the founder and CEO of Dell Technologies.

The report suggests that talks have been held between the two parties, although it remains unclear whether Morris is prepared to sell his stake in the club.

Morris has previously shared ownership of Derby with a different American investment group, possibly an indication that he would prefer to form a partnership rather than stepping down from his current role.

Derby currently sit in 12th position in the Championship table, five points adrift of the playoffs.
