Sheffield United are weighing up a potential third signing of Ben Brereton Diaz, with the Chilean forward reportedly available for around £2 million. The 27-year-old has previously spent two loan spells at Bramall Lane, scoring 10 goals in 27 Championship appearances for the Blades.
Brereton Diaz first joined Sheffield United on loan in January 2023 during their Premier League relegation season, netting six goals in 14 games. He returned the following year as the Blades pushed for promotion, contributing four goals and three assists before their play-off final defeat to Sunderland.
With Gustavo Hamer potentially shifting to a central role, Sheffield United need a new left-winger. Brereton Diaz, who scored seven goals for Derby County last season, fits the profile despite not being a traditional wideman. Fan pundit Jimmy of Blades Ramble believes his Championship experience makes him a strong option.
Southampton may prefer a sale after Brereton Diaz's loan at Derby, but Sheffield United must balance the fee with wage demands. The Blades are also targeting former loanees Kalvin Phillips and Harry Souttar as Chris Wilder rebuilds the squad after last season's bottom-half finish.
