DERBY County defender Cyrus Christie has named one of the best value transfers of the summer.
Football League sponsor Sky Bet have shortlised the right-back as one of the top three pieces of business done in the Championship ahead of the 2014-15 campaign.
Christie, 22, joined the Rams from Coventry City in July.
He was out of contract but, due to his age, the Sky Blues were entitled to compensation, with the clubs agreeing an undisclosed fee.
Christie has impressed since arriving at Derby, making 14 appearances in all competitions.
He has been part of the defence that has kept a club record-equalling six successive clean sheets and also has four assists to his name.
Nottingham Forest winger Michail Antonio, signed from Sheffield Wednesday, and Charlton Athletic striker Igor Vetokele, who arrived from FC Copenhagen, have also been shortlisted.
Burton Albion striker Stuart Beavon, signed from Preston North End, has been named as one of the best value transfers in League Two.
The shortlists have been drawn up as part of the Sky Bet Transfer Fund, which gives fans the chance to win £250,000 for their Football League club to spend on signing new players or on player's wages in the January transfer window, in addition to a personal cash prize of £5,000.
Former West Ham United and Charlton Athletic manager Alan Curbishley said: "Looking at this list of players it is clear to see that clubs are benefiting from some fantastic buys this summer.
"Having achieved promotion to the Premier League twice with Charlton I know that signing the right players is key to a team's success but having the funds to do so is even more important.
"If I was managing in the Football League today I would be crying out for my supporters who like a bet on the Football to opt into the Sky Bet Transfer Fund!"
Sky Sports News presenter Jim White added: "One transfer can be the difference between the Play-Offs or finishing mid table, the right signing can change the fortunes of a club.
"These are the players that are making a massive impact so far this season. The Sky Bet Transfer Fund represents an amazing opportunity for supporters of Football League clubs to make their voice heard in the boardroom as well as in the stadium."
