According to an exciting new development regarding their futures, Sheffield United is reportedly trying to sign new contracts with three separate key players.
Sheffield United’s season reaches a turning point.
With Chris Wilder’s team leading the Championship standings going into the crucial final weeks of the season, the Blades are seven games away from making a comeback to the Premier League.
United has jumped ahead of a struggling Leeds United team by two points after winning four of their past five league games. More significantly, they are only two points ahead of Burnley in third place, which emphasises how close the race for automatic promotion is.
While on-pitch matters are clearly huge, tying down certain players to new contracts is also essential, with Wilder making it clear that he wants deals for Rhian Brewster, Anel Ahmedhodzic and Jack Robinson sorted: “For me, as you can imagine, all the focus and concentration is on what happens here but if you’re asking me, would I like them all to re-sign, yes. One hundred per cent. They’ve all been outstanding for us and have still got a part to play going forward.”
Sheffield United want new deals for key trio
According to The Star, the futures of Sheffield United trio Brewster, Ahmedhodzic and Robinson were “discussed last week when members of the group that own United, including Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy, visited Sheffield”.
Wilder has also claimed that “Steve Bettis is on with that and in discussion with the owners”, as they look to get some big in-house business over the line.
This would be great news for United, with the £90,000-a-week-combined trio of Brewster, Ahmedhodzic and Robinson such important players this season. This season, they have made 89 appearances in the Championship in total, showing how important they are to the cause, with 67 of those starts.
The 24-year-old, a highly-regarded talent who left Liverpool after suffering numerous injuries and not being able to kick, has scored in his previous two games, including the crucial game-winning goal in the 1-0 victory over local rivals Sheffield Wednesday.
Given his recent performance, the Englishman will have a significant impact over the coming weeks and has the capacity to lead United back to the Premier League.
Ahmedhodzic and Robinson have both been reliable members of the Blades’ defence, but the emergence of Brewster has arguably been one of the biggest feel-good stories of the campaign at Bramall Lane.
