Kenny suggests three Sheffield United targets in January after Jokanovic reveal
Paddy Kenny claims Sheffield United are targetting two wingers and a defensive midfielder in January.
The former Blades stopper, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, reacted to Slavisa Jokanovic’s latest transfer quotes.
Jokanovic is quoted by Yorkshire Post as saying, “I believe this team needs three players in different positions” ahead of the January window.
The Blades are 17th in the Championship and have only won one of their last six games.
They drew a blank in Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Coventry, leading Kenny to think the club will target some creative players in January.
He also warned against signing too many new players as that risks upsetting the current crop of players.
“Three players makes sense to me,” Kenny told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“It’s just finding those players and making sure they are the right ones.
“I think three is a good number, any more than that and you risk upsetting the side.
“I’m sure they are after two wingers and a defensive midfielder. Those are the positions that need to be strengthened.
“These need to be players who can go straight into the first team. There needs to be an instant improvement.
“I can’t believe how low they are in the table, wins are needed, quickly.”
Sheffield United are next in action against Reading on Tuesday evening.
The Royals sit three points and three places below United in the Championship table.
In other news, Kenny has dropped a ‘massive’ claim after fresh reports on a change of ownership at Bramall Lane.
