Derby County is in dire need of strengthening their attacking options this summer. Following their promotion to the Championship, the team has released several players, leaving only James Collins and Conor Washington as their striking choices.
Reports indicate that the Rams will prioritize acquiring a striker, a midfielder, and a goalkeeper. History suggests that teams newly promoted to the Championship struggle to score goals, often leading to immediate relegation.
While Derby might not boast the financial resources of some of their Championship counterparts, it is crucial for them to secure strikers with ample experience in the league who can consistently deliver goals.
Below are three Championship-ready strikers whom Derby should consider targeting this summer:
Tom Bradshaw
Recently released by Millwall, Bradshaw, 31, has accumulated 44 goals since joining the Lions in 2019. Despite not being in his prime, his track record of 57 Championship goals showcases his ability to find the back of the net consistently.
Aaron Connolly
Although Connolly hasn’t fulfilled the high expectations placed on him at Brighton, the 24-year-old managed eight goals for Hull City this season. His five goals in the Premier League also underscore his potential as a solid signing for Derby.
Tyrese Campbell
Hindered by injuries during his time at Stoke City, Campbell, 24, has attracted interest from top-flight clubs like Everton and Newcastle United. Despite his injury setbacks, his most productive season yielded nine goals and five assists, demonstrating his quality as a forward. While signing Campbell would be ambitious for Derby, his potential impact could be significant if they manage to lure him to the Midlands.
