With Saracens relegated to the Championship and a lot of players departing the club, more new recruits are needed and here, we examine 5 signings they should make...

SARACENS TRANSFERS |

1. Guy Thompson

The forward was told he would be let go from Leicester Tigers last month, according to the Mail Online. Despite speaking to a number of clubs, the 33-year-old now faces an uncertain future due to the ongoing lockdown. The popular back-rower still has a lot to offer and would add a lot to the Sarries pack to fuel their bid for an immediate Premiership return.

2. Logovi’i Mulipola

The Samoan prop is expected to leave Newcastle Falcons at the end of the season. Mulipola, who can play on both sides of the scrum, is now weighing up his options as he looks for a move elsewhere according to The Rugby Paper. His versatility and experience of playing in the Championship would make him an excellent addition.

3. Jimmy Gopperth

This summer he turns 37 and Ryan Mills, also an inside centre, has been recruited from Worcester Warriors, meaning it's unlikely he'll stay with Wasps. With Max Malins joining Bristol Bears on loan and Owen Farrell unlikely to feature prominently in the second-tier, Gopperth would be the perfect signing to guide the men in black through the Championship.

4. James Short

Bringing the winger back to Allianz Park, where the deadly finisher began his career, would be a stellar addition. Despite establishing himself as a fan favourite since arriving at Exeter Chiefs in 2015, the 30-year-old has played just 252 minutes this season, meaning it's unlikely that the winger will be offered a contract extension by Rob Baxter. Bring him home.
