Paul Warne told what must happen for Derby County to sign ‘fantastic’ striker before Deadline Day

Summer addition Ben Osborn impressed for Derby County against Middlesbrough when the club picked up a massive 1-0 win.

Another recent signing Ebou Adams scored as Derby lost to Watford this past weekend as well.

Adams and Osborn are among the four central midfielders to have moved to Pride Park in the current transfer window.

That area of the pitch is now well-stocked, while the addition of Jacob Widell Zetterstrom has also solved the club’s need for a new number-one goalkeeper.

With the transfer window set to slam shut on August 30th though, Derby are still yet to make much progress in their hunt for another striker.

Kayden Jackson and Jerry Yates have arrived at the club over the summer but neither player is apparently enough for Warne as the Derbyshire outfit continue to be linked with strikers.

Former Derby striker Tyreece John-Jules was spotted at Vicarage Road during their 2-1 defeat, sparking speculation over a potential move now he is a free agent.

Elsewhere, Luton Town’s Cauley Woodrow was linked with Derby earlier this month, though it did appear that pursuit was now unlikely to be completed.

However, writing on his Patreon, journalist Alan Nixon has now told Derby what must happen for them to secure a deal for Woodrow.
