Sheffield United Have Creative Monster on Their Radar From...

Chris Wilder said last week that he hoped Sheffield United will add a few players before their game against Norwich

City this Saturday, but it doesn’t seem like that will happen.

The Blades have reportedly been looking for a lot of English-based players. They are Ben Brereton Diaz, Hamza

Choudhury, and Tom Cannon.

It is thought that if Brereton Diaz, who is unpopular at Southampton, were permitted to leave the South during this

window, he would only want to rejoin United.

As they compete with Sunderland, their promotion rivals, for Tom Cannon, who was called up by Leicester City from

his loan stint at Stoke City earlier this week, Sheffield United is also looking for another striker. The 22-year-old

Republic of Ireland international joined the Potters on the last day of the summer transfer window and scored 11

goals in 25 games across all competitions.

According to reports, Sunderland and United have both submitted bids of up to £13 million. In addition to the £10

million guaranteed, Sheffield United’s proposal calls for an extra £3 million based on performance.

In the meantime, over the past several weeks, the Blades have been connected to another Leicester player. According

to sources, Choudhury was on the verge of going on loan to the team this week. Rather, United is reportedly

becoming impatient with the lack of progress in sealing his transfer, according to The Star. When the Foxes lost to

Crystal Palace 2-0, he did not play as a substitute.

The S2 team is currently looking for another previous loan player as Tommy Doyle continues to fall in the

Wolverhampton Wanderers hierarchy.

In terms of assists per 90, predicted assisted goals per 90, and goal-creating actions per 90, Doyle placed in the top

10% of all Championship midfielders during his loan stint with United during the 2022–2023 season, according to

FBref. This demonstrates how creative he is for this level.

Furthermore, according to The Star, Sheffield United has made Shea Charles, a midfielder for Southampton, a

transfer target. The 21-year-old scored a goal and provided four assists in 23 Championship games during his loan

stint at Sheffield Wednesday before being called up on Wednesday.

Bladesmen Back From Injury

It’s easy to overlook the amazing shape Campbell was in before to his stint on the sidelines, even though some

supporters are pressing to get an outrageous deal done for Cannon. Tyrese Campbell’s free move in the summer has

been a major factor in their success in front of goal, even though there is still space for development on the creative

front. The former Stoke City attacker has been incredibly clinical in front of goal, scoring six goals from just 12 shots

on goal and now holding the ninth-best “goals vs xG” number in the division (3.11).

Additionally, according to Opta, Campbell’s conversion percentage of 31.6% is higher than that of just two other

forwards in the Championship who have played at least 500 minutes.

It is also thought that Vinicius Souza will return to action this weekend.
