Mike Ashley is reportedly interested in purchasing Derby County after selling Newcastle United for £305million this week.
The unpopular Sports Direct chief ended his 14-year stay in the North East this week after securing a sale to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, much to the jubilation of Magpies supporters.
And according to The Mirror, Ashley is interested in taking over the Rams, with the Championship club encountering financial difficulties having entered administration earlier this season.
The outlet claims that Ashley wishes to maintain a public platform for his Sports Direct empire, and the second tier outfit would provide that for the business magnate.
