Derby County's midfield had a major overhaul over the summer, with key players from their League One spell leaving the club, while new stars have arrived.
After two seasons of playing in the third tier, it was important that Paul Warne re-shaped his team, starting with those in the middle of the park.
The Rams had perhaps been too lightweight at times in the last couple of years, but still were able to win promotion back to the Championship at the second time of asking.
The introduction of Ebou Adams on loan from Cardiff City helped bulk up the midfield in January, and although he has now rejoined Derby on a permanent deal, it has been the signing of another loanee that has excited the Pride Park faithful.
Crystal Palace have allowed Warne to borrow David Ozoh for the 2024/25 campaign, and the 19-year-old has already had a huge impact on the team.
