Sheffield United are considering a move for Wales winger Rabbi Matondo, offering him a potential opportunity to revive a career that has stalled in recent seasons. The prospect matters because the Blades are seeking greater strength in wide areas, while Matondo needs regular football after a difficult spell in Norway.

The 25-year-old joined SK Brann in April after leaving Rangers but made only three appearances before being told he could leave. A former Manchester City academy player who later joined Schalke for about £11 million, Matondo has also played for Stoke City and Cercle Brugge and has won 15 Wales caps. Sheffield United’s interest remains exploratory, with Matondo’s pace and ability to play on either wing seen as possible assets.
