Sheffield United have turned down a loan-to-buy offer from Rangers for Ryan One, according to reports. The 20-year-old forward, who joined the Blades from Hamilton Academical in 2023, impressed during a loan spell at Lincoln City last season, scoring five goals in 16 appearances as the Imps won the League One title.
What happened?
Rangers reportedly made an offer for One, but Sheffield United rejected it. Reporter Ben Jacobs confirmed the bid was turned down, though he noted that discussions are continuing. The Blades have already lost midfielder Gustavo Hamer to Coventry City and winger Andre Brooks to Norwich City this summer.
Why it matters for Sheffield United
One is considered a key player for Chris Wilder’s plans in the upcoming Championship season. The young forward signed a long-term contract in 2024, with academy manager Derek Geary praising his potential to reach the "highest level." His departure would be another setback for Wilder’s squad.
What comes next?
With negotiations still ongoing, Sheffield United may push for a better deal or insist on a permanent transfer. One’s development under Wilder could be vital for the Blades’ ambitions in the Championship this season. If he stays, he is expected to play a significant role in the team.
