Derby County defender,Jay McEveley is understood to be one of Brian Laws’ targets according to the Lancashire Telegraph.
The 24 year old Scotland international defender can play at both left back and in the centre of defence and of course is no stranger to Burnley fans.
McEveley had a loan spell at Turf Moor in the 2003-4 season arriving from local rivals, Blackburn Rovers. He played just four games before returning to Ewood Park. Further loan spells at Gillingham and Ipswich Town followed.
He signed for Derby County during the January 2007 transfer window for a fee rumoured to be in the region of £600,000.
McEveley has since entered into negotiations to sign a new contract with the Rams with his current deal expiring at the end of the 2009/10 season.
