Sheffield United ‘closing in’ on Southampton attacker in blow to Championship rivals Sunderland

The Chilean international, who was a regular at Bramall Lane, spent the previous season on loan at Sheffield United after temporarily leaving Villareal.

Although the Blades were relegated to the Championship at the end of the season, Brereton Diaz was a positive influence and won over fans.

The 25-year-old, who signed a permanent contract with Southampton in the summer, has been heavily linked to another move with Sheffield United.

Brereton Diaz’s time at St. Mary’s has not quite gone as planned, which has stoked speculation about a possible comeback to South Yorkshire.

The agile forward has previously been linked to Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers, but recent rumors suggested he would only consider returning to Sheffield United.

According to The Star, the Blades are closing in on the completion of a deal to take Brereton Diaz back to Bramall Lane. An accomplished attacker at Championship level, he last played in the division for Blackburn before Villareal came calling in 2023. He could be one of two forwards through the door, with the Blades also close to securing the signature of Leicester City’s Tom Cannon. The Republic of Ireland international was recently recalled from a loan spell at Stoke City, during which he struck 11 goals in 25 appearances.
