Derby County are closing in on a deal for Viking centre-back Sondre Langas.

It has been reported that the fee for Langas will be around £4m, although sources have told BBC Radio Derby that the rumoured price may not be accurate.

The Norway international played all 90 minutes in 26 of the Norwegian side's 30 Eliteserien games last season and will help to soften the blow if Rams defender Eiran Cashin departs for Brighton.

If Derby do sign Langas, he will be the second defender to join their ranks this winter alongside Middlesbrough's Matt Clarke, with the Rams battling for survival in the Championship.
