Sullivan: “We are looking for a striker”

David Sullivan has admitted the club is hunting for an out of contract striker to provide additional cover following Andy Carroll’s season ending knee injury.

With only Diafra Sakho, Enner Valencia and Carlton Cole available the Irons will be looking at what’s available among the out of contract players.

He has not given any names but admitted in an interview this evening on LBC that the club was now actively looking for a players.

Mauro Zarate is unable to return from Queens Park Rangers where he is on loan until the end of the season and with Diafra Sakho suffering a recurring back injury, the situation could get difficult.

Sullivan – speaking of Carroll’s injury – said: “That’s football. You have to cope with it. We are looking for a striker as cover now.”
