Kenny Jackett is indicating he is likely to sign a number of forwards this summer as he tries to give Brett Pitman more help in attack.

He wants to increase his striking options after a season in which Pitman scored three times as many goals as anyone else.

Jackett told The News: 'Right across our front three it’s something we need to address, if you like, in terms of options. The system we’re currently playing with, we’ve got the likes of Pitman, Hawkins, Chaplin, Lowe and Gareth Evans who can play there, but I’ve talked about bringing Gareth inside.

‘We will need more options in terms of our front three. You want as many options as you can, particularly the front line.

‘You can’t just rely on two or three people to go through an entire season. It has to be five, six or seven for the front three.’
