Dundee United has accepted a £1.8million bid for Will Ferry. Ferry has now been given permission to hold talks with a Czech top-flight club.

What happened?

Dundee United has moved towards a trading model over the last 12 months, with Nikolaj Moller being sold to Sandefjord for six figures.

Why it matters for Dundee United

Ferry has been a key figure for Jim Goodwin, serving as vice-captain and winning his first Republic of Ireland cap earlier this year.

What comes next?

The Tannadice club is currently 9th in Premiership, with 33 pts, 8W-9D-16L from 33 games, and a recent form of WLWWL. | Category | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 9th in Premiership | | Goals this season | 34 scored, 53 conceded (-19 goal difference) | | Title race | 37 points behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian | Ferry is now in the final year of his United contract, and the club has turned down a six-figure bid for him from Vancouver Whitecaps last January. English Championship sides Charlton Athletic and Blackburn Rovers are both keen but haven’t been able to match the Czech offer. The deal would include significant further add-ons if agreed.
