DG reveals top priority transfer plans
We revealed earlier this afternoon that Slaven Bilic is stepping up the chase for a striker this week with the closing of the summer window two weeks ago.
The co chairman – talking to ClaretandHugh exclusively – explained: “We are looking absolutely everywhere and are narrowing down the options.
“The Enner Valencia situation has of course made things much more urgent. We are doing everything we can to get a forward in and the manager is very much on the case. ”
However, he remains hopeful that Andy Carroll will be back by September saying: “He’s working really hard and not far away but we continue the hunt regardless of that.”
When we reminded him that perhaps we shouldn’t go to bed too early – in a reference to his famous winter deadline day tweet – he declared: “Not sure I’ll be using that line again!”
