Weimann Derby bound?

Shine bright like a Weimann

Villa's Andi Weimann is set for a drop down to the Championship, having failed to live up to his early potential in the Premier League.


The 23-year-old Austrian international has a year to run on his contract but appears to be out of favour since Tim Sherwood took over from dour sourpuss Paul Lambert

His last start for the Premier League club was in the 3-1 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford on April 4.

Now it looks as though Derby are to swoop with £2 million bid for a striker who never really made the grade.


Weimann can play up front or far less successfully in a wide attacking role.

Derby's options in those areas have been reduced following the departure of Jamie Ward, Tom Ince and Jesse Lingard.
