AdminSheffield United have opened talks with Leicester City over a deal to bring an experienced Australian international defender back to Bramall Lane, with Chris Wilder confirming discussions are underway between the two clubs.
The Championship side are keen to strengthen their defence before the new season, and the centre-back has emerged as one of their leading targets. Having previously spent time with the Blades, a return is viewed as a move that could benefit both player and club as preparations continue for the campaign ahead.
Leicester are continuing to reshape their squad this summer, and several players have attracted interest from elsewhere. Harry Souttar is among those whose future remains uncertain, with Sheffield United now making a serious attempt to secure his services.
Speaking about the situation, Wilder confirmed negotiations are ongoing but stopped short of suggesting an agreement is close.
“Sheffield United are in talks with Leicester City over a deal to bring Australian international defender Harry Souttar back to the club.”
“Blades manager Chris Wilder has confirmed discussions are ongoing with the Foxes to sign him.”
The 26-year-old’s familiarity with Sheffield United could help speed up any move if the clubs can reach an agreement. For now, talks continue as both sides work towards a possible transfer.
Whether the deal is completed in the coming days remains to be seen, but Sheffield United have made it clear they are eager to bring the defender back before the transfer window closes.
