Duncan leaves Fiorentina for Derby

Bobby Duncan has left Fiorentina to return to England, signing a three-year contract with Derby County.

Duncan moved to Fiorentina from Liverpool in acrimonious fashion last summer but managed just four goals in 12 appearances for their Primavera team in 2019-20.

The Athletic claimed he was ‘desperate’ to move back to his homeland, and Derby announced this afternoon that he had signed for them.

The England youth international came to prominence during the 18-19 campaign, when he netted 32 times and provided 23 assists for Liverpool’s Under-18 side.

He will now ply his trade in the English second tier, working under former Netherlands international Phillip Cocu.

Duncan is also known for being the cousin of Reds legend Steven Gerrard.
