Derby have been hit by Aston Villa raiding their academy for young Northern Ireland striker Omari Kellyman.
The Rams administrators have accepted an offer of £600,000 from the Premier League club for Derby's top young talent, says The Sun.
The deal can be done now as Kellyman, 16, is a youth player and not subject to the senior transfer windows.
Kellyman is rated highly and goes straight into Villa's crack academy set-up.
The Rams have already lost striker Luke Plange to Crystal Palace on deadline day, although the 20-year-old was loaned straight back for the rest of the season.
Promising left back Dylan Williams also departed in the January transfer window as he joined European Champions Chelsea.
