Paul Warne’s success in transforming Nathaniel Mendez-Laing into a dynamic attacking force at Derby County suggests he could achieve similar results with another talented player.
This summer, Derby have strengthened their squad with six new additions, focusing mainly on midfield and attack. Kenzo Goudmijn, Ebou Adams, David Ozoh, and Ben Osborn have been brought in as midfield options, while Kayden Jackson and Jerry Yates have been signed to boost the attack.
Despite these additions, there are ongoing concerns about the team’s ability to score goals. It has even been suggested that acquiring a striker or additional attackers could make a significant difference. Warne is set to prioritize addressing this issue in the coming weeks, potentially by exploring the loan market.
One player Derby County might consider is Malcolm Ebiowei, whom Oxford United is reportedly interested in. The Championship newcomers are looking to bring the 20-year-old winger on loan from Crystal Palace to enhance their attacking options. Derby could potentially hijack this move to secure Ebiowei’s services.
