Sheffield United's Bid for Chuba Akpom
Sheffield United is making a move to bring striker Chuba Akpom from Middlesbrough to their team. However, they face competition from French side Lens who are also interested in the 27-year-old.
Backup Plan: Aston Villa's Cameron Archer
If the bid for Akpom falls through, Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom has his eyes on Aston Villa's Cameron Archer as an alternative option. The 21-year-old forward impressed during his loan spell at Middlesbrough last season.
Middlesbrough Reluctant, Akpom's Contract Running Out
Middlesbrough is hesitant to let go of Akpom, despite not having much time left on his contract. If Sheffield United cannot meet Middlesbrough's asking price, they will turn their attention to Archer.
Sheffield United's Midfield Reinforcements
The Blades are actively seeking midfield reinforcements and have been in talks with free agent Tom Davies, 25. However, Davies' wage demands may pose a challenge for the club. Another potential target is Nottingham Forest's Lewis O'Brien, 24, but the figures may be too high for Sheffield United at this time.
Keeping Salaries in Check
With the possibility of relegation looming, Sheffield United wants to keep their salaries in check. This cautious approach is to ensure financial stability in case of demotion.
Waiting on Manchester City for Potential Loan Deals
Sheffield United is waiting for Manchester City to decide on the availability of James McAtee, 20, for a loan move. Alternatively, they may consider bringing back 21-year-old Tommy Doyle on loan basis as well.
New signing Gustavo Hamer was introduced to the Bramall Lane crowd prior to their recent defeat against Crystal Palace. The midfielder, who joins from Coventry, is a replacement for Sander Berge who has joined Burnley.
