Robert relishes chance with Rams in ‘best league in world’

NEW Derby signing Laurent Robert has insisted he never had any doubts about returning to ‘the best league in the world’.

The controversial French winger yesterday agreed to join Paul Jewell’s Pride Park revolution and could make his Rams bow against Wigan on Saturday if international clearance is gained in time.

On a busy day of transfer activity at the Barclays Premier League’s bottom club, Argentinian striker Emanuel Villa — who also holds Spanish nationality — has been cleared to play for the Rams, while midfielders Robbie Savage and Hossam Ghaly are on the verge of joining the influx.
