Former Derby County coach Kevin Phillips says they can expect to secure a fee between £15m and £20m for Patrick Agyemang after praising the striker's impact this season.
Leeds United and Crystal Palace have already been linked with the Rams forward who has made a significant impact at Pride Park this season having scored 10 goals since his move from Charlotte FC last summer.
Agyemang is also pushing hard to secure a place in Mauricio Pochettino's World Cup squad and scored for his country recently in a friendly against Belgium which ended in a 5-2 defeat.
Derby are profiting on and off the pitch as a result of Agyemang's performances with the forward's value rocketing after his £5.9m switch last summer and he also helping drive them towards a top-half finish in the Championship.
And Phillips believes that Derby stand to bank an eight-figure sum as a result.
"I think that type of money nowadays for a player like him is probably standard fee, isn’t it, £15-20 million," Phillips told bestbettingsites.
"He’s done brilliantly, he’s had a fantastic season, he’s really put himself on the map, so he’s got talent.
"To be linked with clubs higher than the division he’s playing just shows you what type of player he is. People are taking notice, but from his point of view, he just needs to keep doing what he’s doing and eventually, probably that move will come.
"So £20 million sounds like a lot of money, doesn’t it? But nowadays it’s not. So, probably for me, he would be worth that type of money for sure for Leeds or whoever else is interested."
