Sheffield United are now plotting a move for the £8,500-a-week goal-scoring defender

Sheffield United now they are planning a move for “clinical” Priority star to strengthen the priority position, according to a recent report.

Chris WilderThis team’s squad is doing very well in the Championship as we approach the end of the January transfer window, after some solid recent form. The Blades are in a very good position to return to the Premier League at the first attempt and are looking to capitalize on the opportunity that has presented themselves by signing deals that will help them progress.

The main focus this month has been to strengthen the attacks and the job is done for Wilder on that front, having quickly brought in Ben Brereton Diaz and, more recently, Tom Cannon.

As such, the United boss could turn his attention to strengthening other parts of the squad, with FIFA reporting that signing a new defender is now a priority to replace Harry Souttar, who suffered a season-ending injury in December.

Queens Park Rangers Jimmy Dunne has now emerged as a target for the Bladesthe defender is out of contract at the end of the season, meaning he could be available this month if Wilder pushes for a deal.

QPR are having a decent season themselves, now just four points off the play-offs, but they risk losing the 26-year-old for free in the summer if they don’t cash in this winter.

Although Jack Robinson has performed well in Souttar’s absence, Sheffield United are keen to bring in a replacement for the Leicester defender and are now mulling a move for Dunne.

Dunne could be Souttar’s perfect replacement

Souttar has been particularly impressive in the air during his time at Bramall Lane, and there are signs that the QPR defender could be a replacement in that regard, having also regularly displayed his aerial abilities in the past. year.

As shown, Dunne is better than Souttar in almost every key defensive metric, so he could be the perfect replacement for the injured Aussie.

Not only that, but also £8,500 per week The defender is also a threat on the front foot, once he was praised as journalist Sam Tabuteau put it “clinically” at the end of December, and now has four Championship goals to his name this season.

The Blades are already in a very good position to seal promotion to the Premier League, but signing a top defender could help them get over the line and Dunne is showing signs that he could be the perfect addition to the squad.
