The striker, who joined the Blues just a year ago for £250,000 from Rangers, has been the subject of interest from Derby, Sheffield United and Middlesbrough for much of the summer.
But it’s understood the lure of working with Derby manager Frank Lampard was too strong, with the striker indicating his desire to move.
He has successfully completed the final stages of his medical, while personal terms were already agreed after he arrived in the East Midlands on Monday.
It’s understood the delay in completing the transfer is down one aspect of the medical needing to be completed on Tuesday evening.
