Sheffield United looked likely to be joining Leeds United in the Premier League for next season. In the end, it was Burnley and Sunderland; the latter beating the Blades in the Championship play-off final.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sheffield United have suffered the same heartbreak that beset Leeds United<\/a> last year. At Wembley, Sheffield United lost the Championship play-off final<\/a> to Sunderland and the defeat has since resulted in Chris Wilder\u2019s sacking<\/a>, and the appointment of Ruben Selles.<\/p>\n

Sheffield United have appointed Selles on a three-year deal. It\u2019s an appointment that has brought about a very mixed response from Blades fans, but Leeds United fans will care very little.<\/p>\n

Under Daniel Farke<\/a>, the Whites have a Premier League campaign to gear up for, with a couple of new signings having already arrived at Elland Road<\/a> in Jaka Bijol and Lukas Nmecha.<\/p>\n

Who comes next is anyone\u2019s guess. But one player who the Whites have liked for a long time is Sheffield United\u2019s Gustavo Hamer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Yorkshire Post<\/a>, Selles has been discussing what this summer\u2019s transfer window might entail. After missing out on promotion it\u2019s been widely speculated that Hamer is set to leave Sheffield United this summer<\/a>, and that will no doubt catch Leeds United\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

For the last 12 months at least, Leeds United have been tracking Hamer<\/a>. The Dutchman shone once again last season, too, scoring 10 and assisting eight more in 44 total league games to be named the Championship Player of the Season for 2024\/25.<\/p>\n

Selles though has hinted that the Blades don\u2019t necessarily need to cash in on any of their star players right now. He said: \u201cFor the moment, we are in a good place where we are. We are very strong, we are already assessing the squad and the things we need.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a room, actually, for us to get players we potentially want. I have not seen any other reality. I don\u2019t know what is going to happen tomorrow, how it is going to change, how the market is going to evolve. The market is always fluid, but we are in a good place and have room to be in an even better place.\u201d<\/p>\n

A new no.10 is just one of the things that Farke needs this summer. There\u2019s growing speculation that Brenden Aaronson could leave Leeds United<\/a> as well, further highlighting the need to bring in a new name to work that position.<\/p>\n

And whilst Hamer has been linked for a long time, there\u2019s also Emi Buendia. Already this summer, Buendia\u2019s links to Leeds United have been reignited<\/a> after the Whites tried and failed to sign him in January, and after Bayer Leverkusen turned down the chance to sign him permanently after his loan spell in the second half of last season.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Leeds United News recently, transfer expert Graeme Bailey gave his verdict on Leeds United\u2019s search for a new attacking midfielder<\/a>. He explained: \u201cThey are weighing up options but I firmly believe Leeds will sign a no.10 and I also believe the front-runners are those two. It will be one of those and we know Farke likes both of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now with the Blades looking as though they could play hardball over a potential sale of Hamer, we could see Farke\u2019s pursuit of Buendia really intensify in the coming weeks.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sheffield United looked likely to be joining Leeds United in the Premier League for next season.
