SHOCKING ESPN REPORT: Exclusive: Sky Sports pundit urges Derby County talent to “stay” as Morris and Agyemang sign

In an exclusive update that’s stirring up excitement among Derby County fans, a respected Sky Sports pundit has strongly advised one of the club’s brightest young talents to remain at Pride Park. This development comes at a time when Derby County has successfully secured the signatures of key players Nathaniel Mendez-Laing Morris and teenage forward Dajaune Brown Agyemang, signaling the club’s ambitious intent for the upcoming campaign.

 

The pundit, who has close ties to the EFL and has followed Derby’s progress under manager Paul Warne, highlighted the significant role the club’s emerging star could play in the team’s push for promotion. While the pundit stopped short of naming the player explicitly, sources suggest the remarks were directed at a promising academy graduate whose performances last season drew attention from clubs in the Championship and beyond.

 

Speaking to Sky Sports, the pundit explained:

*”If he’s smart, he’ll stay. Derby is building something really strong under Warne, and it’s the perfect place for a young player to develop. You’ve got experienced heads like Hourihane and Forsyth around, and now with Morris and Agyemang signing, that core is getting even stronger.”*

 

This comes just days after Derby announced that Tyreece John-Jules, also on loan from Arsenal last season, would not be returning, raising the stakes for homegrown talents to step up. With pre-season in full swing, fans are eagerly watching to see which youth players will seize the opportunity to earn first-team minutes.

 

Both Korey Smith and Tom Barkhuizen have also been in positive talks with the club, further suggesting a settled dressing room and a focused squad heading into the 2025–26 season.

 

Morris, who joined Derby last year and quickly became a fan favorite due to his versatility and high work rate, signed a two-year extension on Wednesday. Shortly after, Agyemang, one of the club’s standout young forwards, also put pen to paper, committing his future to Derby until 2027. The duo’s decision to stay reflects the belief in the club’s long-term project, something the pundit says the unnamed young star should also recognize.

 

*”Sometimes, staying put is the best move. You don’t get opportunities like this often – a big club with momentum, passionate fans, and a clear pathway for youth. If I were advising him, I’d say: don’t rush it. Your time will come, and Derby’s the place to make it happen.”*

 

With the League One season just around the corner, the mood at Pride Park is optimistic. There’s a growing sense that this squad, buoyed by stability and a strong off-the-pitch strategy, could be poised to return to the Championship. Whether the young talent heeds the pundit’s advice remains to be seen, but Derby County’s message is clear: they’re building for the future, and they want their brightest stars to be part of it.
