West Ham United, AFC Bournemouth and Leicester City stars are among the favourites to join Sheffield United before the end of the January transfer window.
For the Blades, this month is very important because it could have a big impact on their Premier League future. Although Chris Wilder’s team is at the bottom of the table, there is new hope in South Yorkshire after he came back to take Paul Heckingbottom’s place.
They signed forward Ben Brereton Diaz on loan from Villareal early in the window in an attempt to strengthen their attack. But there are still holes in the squad that need to be filled, and there is still a lot of conjecture about possible new arrivals.
These are the top picks from Sports Lens to reach Bramall Lane before the window closes.
The Wales international faces fierce competition at AFC Bournemouth for spots, as he has only been given two Premier League starts this season. He has been associated with both Leeds United and the Blades, as well as being mentioned as a possible target.
7/2 Mads Kikkenborg
Kikkenborg, a 24-year-old custodian, plays for Lyngby in the top division of Denmark. Last month, he was connected to Luton Town and Sheffield United, both of whom were rumoured to be preparing bids.
Danny Ward (7/2
Although Ward is an experienced goalie, he has never played for Leicester City on a club level. This term, he has only played a few minutes for Wales on the international stage.
Ben Johnson (4/1)
Sheffield United and Leeds United have both been listed as potential suitors for the West Ham United academy graduate, suggesting that he may be a wanted man.
Sam Curtis’s – 5/1
At just eighteen, Curtis plays regularly for St Patrick’s Athletic in the Irish top flight. He’s undoubtedly an exciting talent, but he might be one for the future if the Blades make a move.
6/1 Harry Souttar
This season, Leicester City has been brutally good in the Championship, so those on the periphery of Enzo Maresca’s team haven’t really had much reason to grumble about playing time. Souttar has only played in three league games this season, so leaving King Power Stadium might be good for his career.
Moore Kieffer – 8/1
The powerful striker is difficult to play against, but under Andoni Iraola at AFC Bournemouth, he has been reduced to a supporting role. A transfer to Sheffield United was rumoured to be happening back in the summer transfer window.
Zak Vyner (8/1)
Vyner, a pillar of Bristol City’s defence, is just one of several Championship defenders making a strong case for a promotion to the major leagues.
12/1 Mykola Matviyenko
The defender, who has played his whole career for Shakhtar Donetsk in his native Ukraine, has been linked to a number of English clubs.
