AliousDerby County manager Paul Warne is delighted to have secured David Ozoh on a season-long loan from Crystal Palace.
Warne credits his relationship with Ozoh’s agent as a key factor in finalizing the deal.
Ozoh, who made eight Premier League appearances for Palace last season, including an impressive performance against Manchester City, joined Derby despite interest from other clubs like Luton Town.
Warne praised Ozoh’s abilities, describing him as an athletic and tenacious player who can quickly transition from defense to attack.
He compared Ozoh’s style to that of Ebou Adams.
The manager emphasized the significance of Palace entrusting Derby with one of their promising young players.
He also highlighted Ozoh’s humility and eagerness to develop both personally and professionally during this loan spell.
Warne’s previous positive experience with another player from the same agent played a crucial role in convincing Ozoh to choose Derby.
