The Sheffield United reported target who hits 'crazy numbers'
The Blades have been linked with Belgian left-back Renzo Tytens but Portsmouth are also keen on securing his signature
Sheffield United have been given an encouraging verdict on reported January transfer target Renzo Tytens, with the young Belgian left-back attracting attention from Championship sides.
Italian journalist Rudy Galetti reported on November 9 that United were interested in Tytens, yet Portsmouth were leading the race for his signature.
The link between the Blades and the left-back has sparked debate online, with some fans questioning why the club are looking to recruit in an area of the pitch that is well covered, especially compared to the lack of options on the opposite side after Femi Seriki was ruled out for the season by Chris Wilder.
The situation with Harrison Burrows has not been confirmed, but when asked by The Star last week if he could see himself at Bramall Lane for the long term, he replied: “Yeah, 100 per cent. I'm really enjoying my football here.
“I really enjoy being with the lads, I really enjoy the club and I really enjoy the city. So, yeah, I'm very happy.”
Tytens joined Lyngby for around £600k in January of this year, and signed a four and a half year deal with hopes of making his mark in the Danish top flight.
At the time of his arrival, Lyngby joint head coach Andreas Bjelland said: “Our scouting department and sports director have done a fantastic job finding Renzo, who we think is a good fit. He's not Gustav Mortensen, but he's a bit like that.
“He can produce some absolutely crazy numbers and has a good foot and has proven to be really, really important for us already.”
After his opening matches in Denmark’s second division before Lygby got promoted in the summer, the promising Belgian youth international was full of praise for his new side.
“I’m attracted to the attacking playing style at Lyngby Boldklub, which suits my strengths well, and after many good talks with the people at Lyngby, who have shown great trust that I can develop even more here, I feel we are a good match.
“It has been fantastic. Football-wise, the first three league games have been really good. I was really happy to score my first goal and get my first assist, and that we have won every game so far,” he added.
