The report says Leeds and Wolves have made recent enquiries rather than submitting confirmed bids. Eintracht Frankfurt is also reportedly monitoring Zetterstrom, giving Derby the prospect of competition from both the Premier League and Bundesliga.
Zetterstrom has one year left on his current agreement, a factor that could encourage Derby to consider proposals before his contract moves closer to expiry. No transfer fee, formal offer or agreement has been reported.
The update also presents different levels of urgency among the English clubs. Leeds reportedly has Karl Darlow and Lucas Perri as options for 2026-27, although potential squad changes could alter that picture. Wolves may have a clearer need if José Sá leaves and Sam Johnstone continues to attract transfer interest.
Zetterstrom’s international profile has improved during the tournament. After sitting out Sweden’s opening two matches, he started in the 1-1 draw with Japan. That appearance has reportedly increased his visibility across the European market.
His Derby record provides a broader assessment. The report credits him with 75 appearances over the last two seasons, 16 clean sheets and 96 goals conceded. Those figures show regular involvement but also leave clubs assessing whether his domestic consistency matches the demands of a Premier League move.
His momentum was interrupted by an absence of almost three months during the second half of 2025-26. Derby also missed out on the playoffs on the final day, adding uncertainty around the club’s next squad-building decisions.
Zetterstrom’s next Sweden appearances could influence the level of interest, but the current situation remains exploratory. Derby must weigh the value of keeping a regular goalkeeper against the risk of losing negotiating leverage as his contract enters its final year.
For Leeds and Wolves, the key distinction is whether initial enquiries develop into formal proposals. With Frankfurt reportedly involved, the competition could give Derby more options, but there is no confirmed move at this stage.
