Ipswich Town on course for £39.4m PSR boost as paperwork filed…
Sheffield United are looking to bolster their forward line this summer and have set their sights on a player who spent the second half of last season at Ipswich Town, according to reports.
Chris Wilder’s squad has been left bare-bone over the past two weeks, with a number of players officially leaving Bramall Lane for free since the turn of July. The Blades’ forward line has been stripped away, with Oli McBurnie and Daniel Jebbison leaving the club respectively, while Cameron Archer returned to Aston Villa. Furthermore, Ben Brereton Diaz’s loan deal also came to a conclusion.
So far, Sheffield United have done some business, bringing in Jamie Shackleton on a free transfer after he left Leeds United two weeks ago. Additionally, former Norwich City fullback Sam McCallum has joined the West Yorkshire outfit on a four-year deal following the departure of Max Lowe to bitter city rivals Sheffield Wednesday. Still, no new attackers have been brought through the doors as of yet.
Nevertheless, journalist Alan Nixon, via The Yorkshire Post, has issued an update on the club’s pursuit of some firepower this summer, claiming that Sheffield United are keen to secure a deal for Bournemouth centre-forward Kieffer Moore.
The Wales international found himself down the pecking order under Cherries boss Andoni Iraola last season and was sent out on loan in January to Ipswich Town who were near the top of the Championship. This move worked out for all parties as Moore found the net seven times in just 18 matches as the Tractor Boys earned an unprecedented promotion to the Premier League. As a result, Moore has a market value of £1.7 million, as per Transfermarkt.
