Sky Sports understands a host of English clubs are tracking Dutch defender Nick Kuipers.
Kuipers has been catching the eye in Holland with MVV Maastricht and his performances have not gone unnoticed.
The 6ft 3in central defender has been likened to his countryman Ron Vlaar of Aston Villa for his style of play and the powerful defender has all the attributes suited to English football.
Kuipers is in the final year of his contract at MVV Maastricht and the Eerste Divisie side are bracing themselves for offers for the defender.
The likes of Derby, Huddersfield, Brighton, Charlton are all thought to be admirers of Kuipers after watching him in action for the last 12 months.
