Derby County signs US forward Patrick Agyemang from MLS' Charlotte
DERBY, England (AP) — Second-division club Derby County signed United States forward Patrick Agyemang to a four-year contract Tuesday after paying a reported fee of $7.7 million to Major League Soccer team Charlotte. The 24-year-old Agyemang scored eight goals in 18 appearances during the first half of Charlotte's current season before adding two more for the U.S. in the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament. Charlotte described the transfer fee as a club record, though neither team revealed the figure. British media reported it to be $7.7 million. 'Agyemang has been playing for most of the 2025 Major League Soccer season with a hernia injury that has been managed without surgery but meant he has been playing in discomfort,' Derby said in its announcement. 'With a long-term view in mind, all parties have agreed he will undergo routine surgery and is therefore likely to miss the opening games of the 2025-26 season.' The East Hartford, Connecticut native was selected 12th overall in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft. ___ AP soccer:
