Key Events
- Sheffield United finally land defender as Charlie Goode signs
- United lost Robin Olsen and replaced him with Adam Davies in the window
- Lys Mousset makes move to Serie A
Former Blades target in talks over Championship move
Jeff Hendrick, a former target of Sheffield United, is reportedly in talks with the Blades’ Championship rivals QPR [The Athletic].
The midfielder is at Newcastle, who need to let some players move out after a number of signings in their first transfer window since their Saudi takeover.
United were interested in Hendrick when he was at Burnley, before moving to Newcastle in 2020.
Creative midfielder returns to Huddersfield Town
Carel Eiting has returned to Huddersfield Town, having impressed while on loan at the West Yorkshire club from Ajax last season.
Former Blades target staying put - for now
A long-time target of Sheffield United’s has decided to stick it out at his club again, despite being linked with a number of Premier League clubs.
The Blades tracked Reading midfielder John Swift when they were in the top flght themselves but couldn’t come up with the cash to secure a deal with the Royals, with Swift remaining in Berkshire.
Once again during this window, Swift has garnered interest with reported links to Leeds United, Burnley and Wolves. However, the 26-year-old has turned down all approaches and according to Reading Chronicle, wants to stay and attempt to steer his club away from safety.
Another signing for Bournemouth
the Cherries are really pushing the boat out in the pursuit of promotion... adding Dembele of Peterborough to the signings of Nat Phillips, Freddie Woodman and Kieffer Moore earlier today
Blades ‘reject loan approach for Sander Berge'
He was always likely to be the man who attracted the most interest in this window from a Sheffield United point of view - and according to reports in Italy, the Blades have rejected a late loan move from Venezia to sign Sander Berge.
Italian outlet Trivenetogoal report that Blades owner Prince Abdullah turned down the approach. United have to cut their wage bill, and Berge will be amongst the club’s highest earners. But having him play for another club, running another six months off his contract, didn’t seem to make much sense from a Blades perspective, especially if they are serious about being promoted this season ...
Now then, Berge linked with a move to Serie A
What do we think of this? A sale? A loan? We’ll keep an eye on it. Cutting the wage bill is still seen as a priority at United but it would need to be worth their while
Liverpool defender Nat Phillips completes move to Bournemouth
Liverpool defender Nat Phillips has completed a loan move to Bournemouth.
The club had hoped to sell the centre-back permanently but it is understood they have taken an arrangement fee of £1.5m, plus an additional £250,000 if the Cherries get promoted from the Championship, because of the offer of regular game time.
Huddersfield sign Chelsea prospect on loan
Head coach Carlos Corberan believes Huddersfield have signed “one of the most important young talents in Britain” after securing Chelsea’s Tino Anjorin on loan.
The England Under-20 international, who spent the first half of the season on loan with Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow, has joined until the end of the season.
