Sheffield United’s 2024–25 Championship season is off to a great start.
After a disastrous Premier League relegation at the end of the previous season, the Blades had to live with the uncertainty of a possible takeover throughout the summer.
In addition, they had to deal with a two-point deduction at the beginning of the season due to past transfers of monies to other teams that were paid late.
Nevertheless, on the pitch, outcomes have been outstanding, as Sheffield United is presently the only undefeated team remaining in the Championship.
Only goal differential separates Chris Wilder’s team from league leaders Sunderland in the standings.
That follows a successful summer transfer window where they were still
When the market reopens at the beginning of the next year, the Blades may need to hold onto those important players given how well they are now performing.
In light of this, we’ve looked at a few of the situations that Sheffield United would experience in a successful January transfer window right here.
One of the few shining moments of the season at Bramall Lane was Ollie Arblaster’s rise in the second half of the previous season.
Despite suffering a recent injury, the midfield player has already scored two goals in six league games this season, indicating he has the potential to be a vital member of the team.
However, it hasn’t gone ignored by other teams, as the 20-year-old is reportedly attracting interest from Premier League teams like Southampton, Brentford, and Ipswich Town.
It wouldn’t be shocking if those connections resurfaced in January given how well Arblaster is performing for Sheffield United right now.
But because of his significance to their fight for promotion as well as the asset he could develop into, the Blades will undoubtedly be desperate to cling onto him.
One of the other positive aspects of the previous season at Bramall Lane was Vinicius Souza’s performance in his debut season.
In the Premier League, the midfielder showed himself to be a reliable option, and opponents found it tough to deal with his aggressive style.
There were rumours that Fulham was in negotiations to sign Souza during the summer, and some people thought Sheffield United had done a good job of holding onto the midfield player.
Even if the Blades’ interest does, predictably, resurface, the 25-year-old is another player they will be eager to hang onto come January after he too had a good debut this season.
Since Rhian Brewster left Liverpool in the summer of 2020 for Bramall Lane in a big-money deal, things have not exactly gone as planned.
Throughout his tenure with the team, the 24-year-old has been plagued by ailments and has found it difficult to contribute when he is on the pitch.
In 87 appearances in all competitions for Sheffield United, he has only managed to score five goals and dish out two assists—far less than what one would anticipate from a striker at his price.
In addition to Tyrese Campbell and Kieffer Moore, the Blades have several experienced players at this level that they can rely on to lead the line.
In light of that,
