Derby is reportedly interested in signing Persija Jakarta's forward Bambang Pamungkas(right) as they prepare for next season in the Championship. Derby boss Paul Jewell has already told impressive Argentinian forward Emanuel Villa there is a future for him at the club, but wants to add an experienced attacker to play alongside him.

The 27 year old Indonesian currently plays for Persija Jakarta, and has played all of his career in the Asian leagues whilst other impressive Indonesian talent Kurniawan tried his luck in Italy with Sampdoria temporarily.

Derby are preparing a £300,000 offer for Pamungkas, who has already been linked with a move this summer to Australian side Perth Glory.Pamungkas has over 45 caps for Indonesia bagging 23 goals. Bambang's agent in Europe, Anthony van Dalen, has revealed that several clubs in Europe are ready to give the player a try out.

Should Derby sign Pamungkas, it is believed that they are ready to benefit a huge amount commercially as many regard Pamungkas as one of the best players to ever come from Indonesia.
