Sheffield United<\/a> are yet to agree a price with the Premier League new boys for the midfielder. The ex-Holland youth international\u2019s contract with SUFC expires at the end of the upcoming 2026\/27 season<\/a> meaning he has entered the final 12 months<\/a> of his deal in South Yorkshire. <\/p>\n

Hamer, 29, is due to become a free agent next June as things stand and his future at Bramall Lane is up in the air<\/a> at the moment, despite the fact he played for the Blades in their latest pre-season friendly over in Germany against VfL Bochum. He has made 123 appearances for his current club in all competitions to date and has chipped in with 22 goals and 29 assists. <\/p>\n

In this latest update regarding his situation in this transfer window, Sky Sports<\/a> claim a fee for his services hasn\u2019t been agreed yet and talks are continuing between all the parties involved. The source adds that the player is \u2018keen\u2019 to return to the CBS Arena if possible and that personal terms are not expected to be a problem if an agreement is struck. <\/p>\n

Sheffield United<\/a> face battle to keep hold of Gus Hamer before the end of the transfer window<\/p>\n

Sheffield United<\/a> would need to find a replacement for Hamer if he left for Coventry City<\/a>. SUFC have until the deadline on 1st September to conclude any final transfers<\/a>. <\/p>\n

If they sold Hamer, they would miss his creativity<\/a> in midfield. The Blades have other options at their disposal currently such as Sydie Peck, Oli Arblaster and Joe Rothwell, among others. <\/p>\n

Hamer has an affiliation as well with Coventry City<\/a> though and spent three years with the Sky Blues before his switch to Sheffield United<\/a>. He found the net on 19 occasions in 132 outings before heading out the exit door. <\/p>\n

The Blades risk losing the ex-Feyenoord and PEC Zwolle man for nothing next year. Therefore, they may need to cash in on him now or in January to avoid him going for free. <\/p>\n

Gus Hamer stats for Sheffield United<\/a> in all competitions to date<\/p>\n

The Verdict: Gus Hamer exit from Sheffield United<\/a> seems inevitable<\/p>\n

Sheffield United<\/a> star Hamer turns 30 next year so his chances of playing in the Premier League again are getting slimmer. That means is likely to jump at the chance now to depart SUFC and go back to Coventry City<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It would be a blow for the Blades to sell him as he is one of their most prized assets. It will be hard for them to stand in the way though if the Sky Blues match his price tag in the end. <\/p>\n
