Sheffield United manager’s desperate plea to owner; wants to build a team around a trio

It stands to reason that Sheffield United will have at least one or two departures this summer to bring funds into the club to help with a major rebuild.

We already know Cameron Archer will be sold back to Aston Villa with the Blades on loan for the season for £4million. In addition to his departure, Anel Ahmedhodzic and Vinicius Souza are also expected to be sold by the club.

Vinicius Souza is said to be a priority signing for European giants AC Milan, who see the Brazilian midfielder as a perfect defensive midfielder to bolster the middle of the park.

Alan Nixon has also claimed that Sheffield United will look to sell star player Gustavo Hamer for £15m this summer. However, this report is completely untrue. And even if he was, it would be shockingly poor business from the club considering he was signed for slightly less than that from Coventry City and has ten Premier League goals to his name and a long period of time. -long-term contract.

Chris Wilder is determined to keep the 26-year-old beyond the summer as the Sheffield United boss addressed the media ahead of the away clash at Everton on Saturday afternoon.

“There are certain players who may not want to be part of that journey, so we understand that and we have to be smart and make sure we get value for money for those players who come out. There are players we want to keep and Gus is one of them. And Jayden (Bogle) is one of them, and so is Arblaster,” he told The Star.

He added: “Certain players we have a plan for and we want to surround ourselves with and we see them taking us forward. And that we don’t see that it takes us further. It’s not personal decisions, it’s how it is and how we’re trying to structure the club to come back straight away.”

The Brazilian-born Dutch midfielder has been one of the few bright sparks in a terrible campaign for the football club. Hamer has five goals and seven assists to his name in all competitions for the Blades.

Since Oliver Arblaster broke into the first team, Hamer has become more and more involved in contributing goals. Since the start at Bournemouth (Arblaster’s first start), Hamer has two goals and three assists in nine games. This underlines the chemistry and balance the duo provide to the Sheffield United midfielder, which is why supporters and Chris Wilder are desperate to keep the pair in the upcoming Championship.

He has also proven to be one of the best central midfielders in the Championship, having racked up an astonishing 32 goal contributions in his last two campaigns in the English second tier.
