sheffield united fans will hope Chris WilderThe team’s promotion skills are back at the forefront as the Blades still have a chance of qualifying championship playoffs this season.
Astonishingly, the hugely popular boss at Bramall Lane has managed to be promoted up and down the English Football League three times as a well-traveled manager, two of which were with South Yorkshire.
Unfortunately, he failed to score a hat-trick with Sheffield United last season as United lost the playoff final at Wembley.
If his team can make the playoffs in ridiculous fashion, he could rectify that by the end of the season, as a few deadline signings also appear to be on the agenda…
Sheffield United exploring late-stage transfers
Wilder was satisfied at the end of his side’s 1-1 draw with Millwall last time out, but he still won’t say no to late additions as he has welcomed Patrick Bamford to the building this window.
barnsley star Reyes Cleary It could be one that comes through the door before the window dramatically closes, but it depends on whether the South Yorkshire giants think the former West Bromwich Albion winger is worth his exorbitant £8 million price tag.
More pressingly, United may try to bring in a late left-back after Sam McCullum went off with a serious injury on the pitch.
According to the Sheffield Star Sunderland reserve defender Leo Hjelde could be just the man to solve these problems.
The Blades are said to be exploring a move and the Black Cats are expected to be willing to let their versatile Norwegian, who can play at centre-back or left-back, leave on loan.
The 22-year-old, formerly of Leeds United, is no stranger to Yorkshire passion, with Wilder seeking to get the best out of another former Whites player who has lost his way of late, just as he had success with the aforementioned Bamford.
How Yelder became Bamford all over again
Of course, Yelder only played 9 times for Leeds United, second only to Bamford who played 205 times for Leeds United.
But the injury-prone 32-year-old is in much the same position as the Scandinavian right now, struggling to get into any game and Bamford did not feature for Daniel Farke’s side earlier this season before his contract at Elland Road was terminated. Yilde only has a few games in this game worthy of a shout-out from the Sunderland U21s, to put it into context.
If a loan move eventually materializes, he hopes he can be as dynamic as Bamford at Bramall Lane, with the English football veteran already showing his class in front of goal – as evidenced by a fine strike against Wrexham – in his 14 appearances for the Blades, scoring seven times. Wilder rightly admits it “Big difference” The number 45 was accomplished in such a short period of time.
Yedder will be keen to play an equally important role in the cause, and with McCallum looking to miss out on the season, the 22-year-old does have a good chance of establishing himself at left-back in South Yorkshire, while also potentially filling in elsewhere.

After all, Yelde proved himself a worthy option at the Stadium of Light during the last time out in the Championship – much like Bamford did at the Stadium of Light – making a rare start during the Black Cats’ stunning promotion campaign and even winning a total of nine tackles and duels against Manchester United’s bitter rivals at Sheffield Wednesday.
was once considered “Exciting” The young talent identified by scout Jacek Kulig will now be given the spotlight by Hjelde to revive his fading career.
If he swaps Wearside for Wilder’s men immediately, everyone at Bramall Lane will be praying he can hit the ground running as another Bamford-esque addition could bolster the Blades’ thin options.
