    RAMS RAID FOR LEWIS
    Leeds have agreed to sell winger Eddie Lewis to Premier League club Derby for an undisclosed fee.

    Lewis, 33, has travelled to Derby for talks and a medical, where he hopes to link up again with manager Billy Davies.

    Lewis was part of the Preston North End side managed by Davies, who were beaten in the Championship play-off final by West Ham in 2005.

    "We have agreed an undisclosed fee for Eddie Lewis with Derby County," read a statement on Leeds' official website.

    "Eddie felt that the opportunity to play in the Premier League was too good to miss out on."

    I'm happy for him. Totally underappreciated U.S. national team player. Derby needs all the help they can get as well.

    Don't particularly rate the fellah, but good that he gets one more chance.

    Derby to stay up? Don't be silly.

    interesting. Leeds were playing him at left back -- something Arena started. Derby have a commanding aerial presence in their #9 shirt in Steve Howard [ex Hatter, of course], and Eddie can supply the stuff to him, that's for sure.

    Good luck to him, but he never really panned out at FFC. I always felt he played much better on the national squad than at the club level.

    One more Yank, and they're tied with Fulham.
