SETH JOHNSON will have to take a whopping pay cut of more than £30,000 a WEEK to make his return to Derby.
Johnson, 26, is close to resurrecting his career at Pride Park after his Leeds contract was ripped up last week.
The former England midfielder — sold by the Rams for £7million in 2001 — was on a staggering £37,000 a week at Elland Road.
Johnson was given a £1m pay-off by Leeds as he had 12 months remaining on his deal and is now available on a free transfer.
And Rams boss Phil Brown said: “Seth has shown an interest in us and obviously the feeling is mutual. He came to watch us at Preston and feels he can help.
“It is in its early stages but, with a bit of luck, Seth might be a Derby player in the future.”
