Sports Mole brings you the latest transfer news and rumours, including Sheffield United signing an England international and Aston Villa rejecting an offer for Emiliano Buendia.<\/p>\n

Sheffield United<\/strong><\/a> have bolstered their squad with the signing of former West Ham United forward Danny Ings<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sitting at the bottom of the Championship table<\/a>, the Blades are in need of a boost both on and off the pitch ahead of the September 1 deadline.<\/p>\n

With just one goal being scored during three consecutive defeats, acquiring a new frontman has been a priority, and that void has now been filled with the signing of Ings.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old has been available on a free transfer after his exit from West Ham United, where he only contributed five goals and five assists from 69 appearances.<\/p>\n

Consequently, offers from Premier League teams have been in short supply, resulting in the former England international dropping into the Championship for the first time since 2013-14.<\/p>\n

Ings has penned a one-year contract and will come into contention for Saturday’s encounter at the home of Middlesbrough.<\/p>\n

\"Aston<\/p>\n

Villa reject offer for Buendia<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Aston Villa<\/strong><\/a> have reportedly rejected a loan offer from Stuttgart<\/strong><\/a> for Emiliano Buendia<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old is back in the West Midlands after only accumulating 321 minutes of football across 15 appearances on loan at Bayer Leverkusen during the second half of last season.<\/p>\n

His career has stalled since suffering the serious knee injury that kept him sidelined for 2023-24, and it remains to be seen whether the Argentine will stay at Villa as a backup member of Unai Emery<\/strong><\/a>‘s squad.<\/p>\n

According to The Athletic<\/a>, Villa are currently rejecting offers to allow the playmaker to depart the club on loan for 2025-26.<\/p>\n

Stuttgart are also said to have wanted a buy option for Buendia, but it appears that Villa are retaining their stance for the time being.<\/p>\n

With two years left on Buendia’s contract, Villa could plausibly decide to keep him given the hectic schedule that the Europa League will bring.<\/p>\n

\"West<\/p>\n

Another defender ready to leave Bournemouth<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Bournemouth are reportedly ready to allow another defender in Chris Mepham<\/strong><\/a> depart the Vitality Stadium.<\/p>\n

Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi have brought in excess of \u00a3100m through their sales to Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain respectively.<\/p>\n

Although Mepham is further down the pecking order at the Cherries, the Wales international is allegedly being allowed to sign for West Bromwich Albion<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says on X<\/a> that a fee has been agreed between the two clubs and personal terms have been finalised.<\/p>\n

Mepham will leave Bournemouth having made 121 appearances since 2018-19, but the 27-year-old spent the last campaign on loan at Sunderland who he helped win promotion to the Premier League.<\/p>\n
