Mike Ashley has made renewed contact with Derby County’s administrators, and Sky Sports News has been told the former Newcastle owner remains very keen to buy the club.

Kirchner has admitted on social media that negotiations with outgoing Derby owner Mel Morris over a separate deal for the stadium have reached an impasse.
