Sean Dyche has failed to rule out Everton making a permanent move to sign Leeds United winger Jack Harrison this summer. Harrison has spent the season on loan at Goodison Park, where he has made 34 appearances this season, racking up four goals and three assists along the way in all competitions. However, with his loan spell nearing its end, it's fair to say the winger is approaching a summer of uncertainty. As it stands Harrison is due back at Thorp Arch for the first day of pre-season with...
Sheffield Wednesday captain Barry Bannan hopes to see Ipswich Town promoted to the Premier League - an outcome that would almost certainly mean former club Leeds United missing out. Leeds and Ipswich look set to go head-to-head for the second automatic promotion place, following Leicester City’s commanding 5-0 thumping of Southampton on Tuesday evening. Enzo Maresca’s side need just three points to secure a top-two finish, with that victory virtually condemning the Saints to a play-off place due...
Barry Bannan has admitted he would like to see Ipswich Town join Leicester City in the automatic promotion places with Yorkshire rivals Leeds United missing out. Sheffield Wednesday remain fully focused on the lower end of the Championship table with the relegation battle intensifying week on week. The Owls are currently one point and one place above the drop zone with just two games remaining to secure their fate. But the incredible battle at the top cannot be ignored with Leeds, Ipswich and...
Erik ten Hag will be sweating on the fitness of four Manchester United stars ahead of this evening’s Premier League clash against Sheffield United. Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay are all doubts for the visit of Chris Wilder’s side, having picked up knocks during Sunday’s dramatic FA Cup win over Coventry City. Manchester United threw away a two-goal lead and had to play through extra-time before winning on penalties. United have enjoyed an extra day’s...
Rotherham United boss Steve Evans has revealed that “seven or eight big clubs in the Championship” are eyeing a summer transfer move for goalkeeper Viktor Johansson, a former target of Sheffield United. The Swede is widely expected to move on this summer, when a relegation release clause - making him available for a bargain £1m fee in total - kicks in. The 25-year-old has played a key role for the Millers despite their continued Championship struggle and although he has no desire to force an...
Viktor Johansson, the former Sheffield United transfer target, is expected to leave Rotherham United this summer, Millers manager Steve Evans has admitted, after their drop from the Championship. The Swedish international is available for a reduced fee, thought to be around £750,000 initially, thanks to a relegation release clause in his contract. Widely regarded as one of the best shot-stoppers in the second tier Johansson is going to be a man in demand this summer, with Leeds United and Stoke...
Sheffield United made a decision to bring in a new number one in the winter
The Owls skipper has been almost ever-present once again this season, playing a huge role in the club’s resurgence under Danny Röhl, and he recently took his tally of appearances past the 400-mark after climbing into their top 15 of all time. His contract is up in the summer – like so many others – but he says that, if it’s up to him, he won’t be going anywhere. The 34-year-old still feels like he has plenty left to offer, and reiterated his desire to see out the rest of his playing career at...
Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick was left frustrated by a 'massive' offside decision that went Leeds United's way in their 4-3 Riverside win. A madcap game saw Boro take an early lead through Isaiah Jones before Crysencio Summerville's penalty and Patrick Bamford's goal against his former side swung things towards the visitors. Carrick's men hit back through Emmanuel Latte Lath's long-distance strike, only to fall behind once more when a clearly offside Willy Gnonto smashed home to make it...
Sheffield Wednesday are on course to beat relegation with just one game remaining, but how do they compare to the dirtiest teams in the Championship when it comes to fouls? The Owls have been transformed by Danny Rohl since his arrival in October, and they now have a big shot at survival. Wednesday only need a point from their last game to ensure they remain in the second tier, and that’s a situation many couldn’t have dreamed of earlier in the season following a disastrous start. As the Owls...
Sheffield Wednesday picked up a huge win on Sunday, defeating relegation rivals Blackburn Rovers to haul themselves out of the bottom three. Danny Rohl’s men showed real grit to twice take the lead before heading back to South Yorkshire with all three points. The win gives them hope of beating the drop, but there is still plenty of work to do, with two tricky fixtures lying in wait over the next two weekends. In the meantime, the WhoScored team of the week has been released, and there is some...
Ivo Grbic has reacted well to losing his place as Sheffield United’s first-choice goalkeeper, Chris Wilder has revealed, after the Blades boss conceded that the Croatian’s Bramall Lane transfer “has not gone as well as all of us would have liked.” The 28-year-old has watched United’s last two games from the bench after Wes Foderingham was restored between the posts. Grbic has failed to convince many Unitedites with his displays between the posts since arriving from Atletico Madrid in January,...
