SHEFFIELD UNITED are making a surprise £3million move for Malmo centre-back Anel Ahmedhodzic.
The Blades have cash to splash on the Bosnian, 23, who is available after a season on loan with Bordeaux.
Ahmedhodzic has been identified as a Sheffield United target
Ahmedhodzic’s old boss Jon Dahl Tomasson is also interested in him for Blackburn.
United could also pick up former Crystal Palace midfielder Nya Kirby, 22, who had loan spells at Blackpool and Tranmere before being released.
Sheffield United finished fifth in the Championship last season, securing a play-off place.
But in the semi-finals they were beaten by Nottingham Forest on penalties – with Steve Cooper’s side going on to win promotion with a victory over Huddersfield in the final.

Meanwhile, Blackburn are looking to bolster their squad after losing Joe Rothwell.
The midfielder departed at the end of the season when his contract expired and he has now signed for newly-promoted Premier League outfit Bournemouth.
Scott Parker tried to land the midfielder – who has signed a four-year deal – in January but saw his approach knocked back by Blackburn.
Rothwell, 27, ran his contract down at Ewood Park before making the switch to the south coast, with the Cherries getting there ahead of a number of clubs.
Bournemouth chief Neil Blake said: “Joe has been on our radar for a while now and we’re delighted to bring him to the club.
“Unsurprisingly, we had huge competition to sign Joe, so we’re really pleased that he has chosen AFC Bournemouth as the next step in his career.
“Joe has proven himself as an outstanding midfielder in the Championship over the past few seasons and we believe he can continue his development under head coach Scott Parker and his coaching team.”
