The transfer rumour mill is already spinning up and it looks as though there’s plenty of stories linking our club with players too.
Indeed, the Whites have been touted with moves for several players already and, on the upside, many of them are players we’re actually aware of.
Certainly, it’s nice to see our team linked with names we know and with the likes of Abel Hernandez one of those it suggests we might just have a better window than most in recent years.
Indeed, according to Phil Hay, the Uruguayan is the main man up top as a target for us – ahead of Oli McBurnie.
He said:
Rangers doing the same with McBurnie. Rangers want McBurnie badly (although Leeds aren’t really pushing that one, despite Heckingbottom wanting him – more bothered about Hernandez).

The Verdict
I like both strikers but I think Abel would be an extra class above McBurnie.
He’s a top player with power and finishing ability and would certainly be able to lead our line with aplomb.
Let’s hope we can do it, then, as it would certainly be some statement.
