Another blow for Derby who are set to lose talented youngster Luke Thomas
After losing🅠 manager Gary Rowett to Stoke City last night, who guided the club to a sixth-place finish, the Rams are already awaiting another setback as talented youngster Luke Thomas is reportedly preparing to leave Pride Park.
, West Ham United h✤ave launched a £1.2 million bid to lure Thomas to the Premier League after Derby missed out on promotion, losing their play-off semi-final to Fulham over two leg꧟s.
Thomas moved to Pride Park in January 2016 from Cheltenham Town a𝕴nd the Gloucestershire club will reportedly receive a portion of any potential transfer fee.
The 19-year-old, who is from the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershiꦯre has so far made two substitute appe⛎arances for the first team, in home wins over Queens Park Rangers and Bolton Wanderers.
The loss of Thomas may not prove as costly as manager Rowett. However, the potential departure of t𒁏he teenager comes at an awful time for Rams supporters considering he is considered one of their m🍌ost promising academy players.

Thomas gained va🐻luable senior experience aౠfter he spent time on loan at Gloucester City in 2016/17, impressing for the then National League North outfit.
He is a versatile attacking midfielder who has made a name for himself in his home county. He is considered one of the best youngsters to come out of Gloucestershire in recent years, and Derby losing him could soon prov♑e a huge loss.
The arrival of Manuel Pellegrini at West Ham, who likes to play an attac𝓰king brand of football, will come as exciting news to Thomas who, could have a huge future at the London club if the move goes through.
The forward m𝕴ade 17 Premier ♏League 2 appearances for the Rams under-23 side, scoring six goals and providing one assist.
It is a big fee to pay for a yꦑoungst﷽er but the price tag only represents how talented this forward is. If reports are true, it could be another huge loss for the Rams.
