John Brayford 'attracts Premier League interest'

Derby County defender John Brayford has reportedly attracted interest from a host of Premier League clubs.

West Ham United, Stoke City, Wigan Athletic and Cardiff City are all considering bidding for the player this summer, according to Sky Sports News.

Brayford, regarded as one of the best full-backs outside of the Premier League, was a first-team regular for Derby this season until he suffered a hamstring injury in March.

However, the 25-year-old's return to full fitness has sparked renewed interest in him.

Cardiff were linked with the player in January and are now said to be hoping to add him to their squad in time for their first season back in the top flight.
