Derby County have signed forward Tom Lawrence from Leicester for an undisclosed fee. Wales international Lawrence, 23, has committed to what Derby describe as "a long-term contract" and becomes their fourth summer signing. A statement on the official Derby website said: "Derby County have moved to bolster their attacking options by completing the signing of Leicester City forward Tom Lawrence." Neither club has disclosed the fee involved but several reports have suggested Championship outfit Derby are paying £7 million. Lawrence spent last season on loan at Ipswich and was named their Player of the Year after scoring 11 goals in 36 appearances. He progressed through Manchester United's academy but made only one first-team appearance before moving to Leicester in September 2014 and has also spent loan spells at Carlisle, Yeovil, Rotherham, Blackburn and Cardiff.
