Derby County has to make a last-ditch effort to add players to its roster before the summer transfer window closes.
With just one victory and two draws to their name thus far, they have had a difficult start to life back in the Championship.
Deal with Derby County eye Will Keane
Preston North End forward Will Keane is one of the strikers on the list in the last few days of the market.
The 31-year-old has expertise as a bagsman because he went through the Manchester United development system before spending multiple seasons in the second division.Keane left Wigan, where he had made 65 appearances and scored 16 goals, to join Deepdale last summer.
Journalist Darren Witcoop claims that other clubs have inquired in the striker, including Derby.
Cardiff and West Brom have joined the Rams in their pursuit, although it’s unclear if a deal will be reached.
With just one year left on his deal, Keane can still play for Preston, where he has made three appearances in all competitions.
The team just defeated Luton Town 1-0, with the center-forward scoring the game’s winning goal.
Profile of a striker for Derby County
It’s evident that Warne is searching for a specific striker profile for the team in the final few days of the market.
The plan is to connect up with Cauley Woodrow of Luton Town and Derby to find a taller player who can hold up the ball and draw others into play.
Although the ability to score goals is an essential for the new addition, their overall performance will matter in games where the Rams aren’t as strong.
Whether the club can close that kind of deal in the remaining hours is a matter of some doubt.
