Gillingham are progressing well with deals for two forwards - and hope to have at least one completed this week. The Gills take on League 1 Cambridge United in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Tuesday and manager Neil Harris hasn’t ruled out having a new face in the team for the trip.
Harris and the Gills have been thwarted in their attempts to sign a striker this summer so far but the hard work behind the scenes hasn’t stopped.
Speaking about their pursuit of forwards, Harris said: “We have tried very hard to develop that this week. “We feel we have developed and we do feel we are a lot closer to one or two, a lot closer to two which hopefully means one will come off, one might not, you have to hedge your bets sometimes. “I don't want to get ahead of ourselves.
The problem we have at the moment is there are a lot of clubs, certainly in the league above, looking for attacking players and unfortunately they can pay more wages than we can.
