Kenny shares ‘exciting’ Sheffield United transfer prediction after confirmed news
Sheffield United need to sign two wingers and a striker to boost their promotion charge.
That’s according to former Blades stopper Paddy Kenny, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about his former side’s January plans.
On 22 December, Yorkshire Live quoted Heckingbottom as saying his side is “looking to strengthen” in the upcoming window.
The Blades are in sensational form under their new manager and could move into the play-off spots if they win their game in hand.
Kenny has been impressed with his former side’s defence in recent weeks and wants the club to target bew attackers next month.
“It’s great to hear, it sounds like Heckingbottom will be backed,” Kenny told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“That’s what we need if we are going to push towards those play-off spots.
“I think we need a couple of wingers. We have been lacking in that area for a while in my opinion.
“I think another exciting striker also needs to come in. We need our own Mitrovic to make sure we are challenging at the top of the table.
“I know that and I’m sure Heckingbottom knows that as well. We are a lot better at the back under him.
“So it’s the attack we need to have a look at. If we want to be up there we need a 15 or 20 goal striker.”
The Blades are set to welcome Hull to Bramall Lane on Wednesday (29 December).
The Tigers are 19th in the Championship as it stands.
