Nine free transfers Sheffield United, Huddersfield Town and Rotherham United could make to improve attacking options

Huddersfield Town and Sheffield United will both be on the lookout for more attacking options this summer as they look to go one better in their respective bids for promotion.

Both clubs reached the Championship play-offs but the Yorkshire pair were beaten by Nottingham Forest in the semi-finals and then the final.

The Terriers' head of football operations Leigh Bromby says that the club’s recruitment strategy will focus on bringing in attack-minded players in the summer.

For the Blades, they will be keen to bolster their forward options having released David McGoldrick and Lys Mousset while Morgan Gibbs-White has returned to parent club Wolves following a successful loan spell at Bramall Lane.

Speaking about Huddersfield's summer plans, Bromby said: “If you look at the project last summer, it was always a defensive model, it was being able to be competitive in this league by not conceding loads of goals, scoring from set pieces, and it was always then to progress this summer to can we add attacking players and a little bit more quality in the attacking areas.”

The Terriers made good use of the free agent and loan market last season. The Blades are planning on using loans again next campaign but a number of players are set to be available for nothing having left their respective clubs.

Meanwhile, Rotherham United have already made use of the free agent market after signing Conor Washington on a two-year deal, after the forward did not have his contract renewed at Charlton.

The club also released Freddie Ladapo, who has now joined Ipswich Town.

Below we have picked out some attacking players that could prove to be suitable options for all three clubs.
