Derby County’s upcoming league status for the 2024/25 season remains uncertain, yet their focus on potential transfer targets persists behind the scenes.
The club’s recent transfer activity has been quite limited, largely relying on loans and free transfers rather than upfront fees.
However, there have been some fee-based deals recently, hinting at a potential shift in their approach this summer.
In terms of strikers, Derby County has primarily leaned towards experienced players in the EFL, all aged over 31. Yet, they should consider breaking this pattern by targeting Lee Bonis, a Northern Irish talent.
Bonis, despite not having played in the Football League, has garnered attention with his impressive goal-scoring record and performances in European qualifiers.
As a 24-year-old unproven striker outside of the EFL, Bonis could bring a fresh dynamic to Derby County’s attack, offering a long-term solution that current options may not provide.
With interest from clubs like Lincoln City, Derby should be proactive in securing a deal for Bonis in the upcoming transfer window.
