As such, the club's interest in Vydra may be seen as a sign they do not feel they have an agreement for Hernandez to sign on the dotted line in place.

Vydra cost Derby £8m to sign from Watford on a four-year deal in 2016.

However, following Derby's failure to win promotion, the club are expected to look to cut costs this summer.
