With the January transfer window less than a couple of months away, the club will be starting to consider possible new recruits to strengthen their side. Here's our rundown of nine hidden gems from Europe who the Blades could look to bring in when the transfer window opens once again after Christmas.
5. Matteo Scozzarella - Parma
He's getting on a bit in footballing terms, but could offer some real competition in the play-maker role. His contract expires next summer, so he should be available on the cheap.. (Photo by Emilio Andreoli/Getty Images) Photo: Emilio Andreoli
6. Jonas Svensson - AZ Alkmaar
Over to the Netherlands now, where Norway international Jonas Svensson has been tearing it up for AZ Alkmaar this season. He could provide a reliable wing-back option.. (Photo by Trond Tandberg/Getty Images) Photo: Trond Tandberg
7. Anderson Silva - Famalicao
A little treat from the Portuguese top tier, the 21-year-old has been dazzling as an impact substitute. He'd be a great investment for the future, and is unlikely to cost a fortune.(Photo credit: PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA/AFP via Getty Images) Photo: PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA
8. Yoann Court - Brest
He's been the assist king in Ligue 1 so far this season, setting up seven goals in 12 matches, and bagging a couple of goals too. Chris Wilder could definitely get a tune out of him too. (Photo credit: LOIC VENANCE/AFP via Getty Images) Photo: LOIC VENANCE
