Shrewsbury Town boss Gavin Cowan has revealed the club's search for a striker and number 10 hybrid. The Town boss has made no secret of his desire to strengthen his attack before the transfer window closes on September 1.
Cowan is targeting a versatile forward who can operate both as a striker and in the number 10 role. The Town boss has made it clear that he wants a player who can do both, which is where the club has been in conversations that they've sort of fallen short a little bit.
The club is operating under a transfer fee embargo this summer, which means that some demands from players are currently 'way past' Shrewsbury's reach. However, Cowan is confident that the club can find a player who fits the bill.
The club is already operating with eight summer recruits, including new deals to retain Josh Ruffels, Luca Hoole, and George Lloyd. Cowan says that these arrivals would complete his squad, but he is still searching for a player who can operate in the number 10 role.
