St Mirren prioritise striker signings to address scoring issues
St Mirren are targeting two new strikers this summer as manager Craig McLeish looks to bolster his squad ahead of the new season. The Buddies have struggled for goals this campaign, scoring just 27 in 33 Premiership games while conceding 48. With the club currently sitting 10th in the table on 30 points from 7 wins, 9 draws and 17 losses, McLeish is keen to add firepower to his attacking options.
Why are strikers a priority for St Mirren?
The need for additional striking options has become clear as St Mirren's recent form shows. With a goal difference of -21 and trailing league leaders Heart of Midlothian by 40 points, McLeish believes strengthening up front will be crucial for improvement next season. "We've identified areas we need to strengthen," McLeish said. "Bringing in two strikers is a priority to give us more options and competition in that area of the pitch."
Who could be on St Mirren's radar?
While no specific targets have been named, McLeish hinted at the type of players they're looking for. "We want players who can score goals and make a difference," he explained. "We're looking at options both domestically and abroad." The club's recent form of WDDWL shows they've been competitive but need more consistency in front of goal.
What does this mean for the current squad?
The potential arrivals could impact current strikers like Kyle Magennis and Jonah Ayunga. McLeish confirmed the club will be active in the transfer market. "We're working hard behind the scenes," he said. "We want to make sure we're in a better position when the new season starts." With the transfer window open, St Mirren fans will be watching closely to see who joins the squad.
