Ten Free Agents: These Are The Pick of Realistic Strikers

Sam Winnall

 

Sam Winnall - Oxford United | Player Profile | Sky Sports Football

If we signed 31-year-old Sam Winnall, it wouldn’t be a complete surprise. He’s just spent two years with Oxford, where he scored seven goals in 52 appearances, and before you start saying stuff like ‘not prolific enough’ you have to understand this is the free agent market; there are no prolific strikers on here and in terms of our squad, we’re looking for backup for Tom, nothing more.

Winnall has been prolific, he netted 23 for Scunthorpe in 2013/14 and 48 for Barnsley in 115 appearances, including 30 in 75 League One matches. Goals have been slow coming since then, although he did score six in 17 for Derby in 2017/18 in the Championhip.
