Derby County Handed Transfer Blow As Sheffield United Clinch Leicester City Move – Football Lowdown
Developed over time first seen 4 hours ago
Sheffield United have reportedly beaten Derby County to the permanent signing of Leicester City’s Hamza Choudhury. The move matters because it removes a potential target for Derby while giving United cover at right-back after Femi Seriki’s knee injury.
Choudhury, 28, previously made 19 appearances for Sheffield United during a loan spell and is expected to undergo a medical in Yorkshire. Leicester manager Russell Martin has left him out of recent squads amid transfer interest, while United hope to complete the deal before their Tuesday match against Bolton Wanderers.
- Sheffield United are set to re-sign Hamza Choudhury permanently.
- Derby County have missed out on the Leicester player.
- Choudhury could provide immediate right-back cover.
