Sheffield United boss Ruben Selles has claimed that he expects some new signings through the door in the next few days.
It comes as the Blades are stepping up preparations for the new Championship campaign, with hopes of bouncing back from last season’s play-off final defeat.
With plenty of changes following over the summer, Ruben Selles is among the fresh faces at Bramall Lane, but he isn’t the only one expected.

While 2024/25 ended in disappointment for Sheffield United, there is some growing excitement that 2025/26 could be a successful campaign.
The arrival of Selles has ushered in a few changes, with pre-season results causing quite a stir, winning 5-0 and 6-2 in their first two matches.
While those results mean little, the foundations being set are promising and can only be strengthened by some potential signings.
Sheffield United are closing in on the signing of Louie Barry, with the winger viewed as an impressive capture for the coming season.
Addressing the transfer rumours to BBC Sheffield, Selles said: “I expect to have, as I said, two or three days ago, I expect to have a couple of players in the building in the next two to five days.
“Louie [Barry] has been there, we know him really well, so we’ll see what happens in the next couple of days.
“I don’t want numbers, I want quality, and the boys we are working on will be, in my opinion, high-profile players.
“That’s where we are, to add a bit of quality because I think we already have a really good group. But we are always looking at how we can improve and how we can get one per cent better.”
While Louie Barry could improve the side, he seemingly isn’t the only player expected through the door in the near future.

With Sheffield United on the lookout for new players they can bring in, plenty of names pop up to fill the frame.
Now, according to Alan Nixon on his Patreon, the Blades are targeting Daniel Gudjohnsen as a player of interest.
It’s stated that Sheffield United sent out their top scouts to check up on the 19-year-old striker in action for Malmo.
Daniel is the son of Chelsea legend Eidur Gudjohnsen, and he is working to match his father’s legacy in the game.
The 19-year-old has been heavily featured in Champions League qualification so far this season, and previously came through the Barcelona and Real Madrid youth ranks.
