All the latest news surrounding Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday and their Championship rivals.
The summer months are almost here, and both Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday will be beginning their preparations for next season well ahead of pre-season kicking off. There is another month or so until the players return, but plenty of changes are likely to be made ahead of that point.

In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest news surrounding the second tier.

Llorente latest
Leeds United defender Diego Llorente still doesn’t know what the future holds as he prepares to officially finish his loan spell with AS Roma. He told Spagnaculturaescienza.it: “Yes, in 2015 in the summer with my wife, but for three or four days. In a short time, you see little, you can’t visit many places, especially if it’s hot. But in the last year and a half I have discovered this city and it is beautiful. It has everything, even the sea.
“I have also been to Milan and Venice, but without a doubt Rome is the most beautiful city in Italy. And this team seems like a big family: the atmosphere in the club is always positive. I feel the closeness of the owners, of the managers. I am very happy here, my wife and children too. I don’t know what the future holds, but as a club I will always have fantastic memories of Roma.”
