Callum O’Hare is reportedly close to completing a move to recently-relegated Sheffield United, keeping him in the Championship after he left Coventry on a free transfer
Leicester City won’t be signing Callum O’Hare with the attacking midfielder said to be on his way to Sheffield United.
City were linked to O’Hare a few weeks ago as they seek a replacement for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. The 26-year-old would have been a cheap option for City, with the midfielder leaving Coventry at the end of his contract last month to become a free agent.
But it seems he will be staying in the Championship. Alan Nixon reports that recently-relegated Sheffield United have jumped into the lead in the race to sign O’Hare and look set to take him to Bramall Lane, despite prominent interest from Leeds.
It’s unsurprising that O’Hare would have so many suitors given his numbers at Championship level. Last season, after returning from a cruciate ligament injury, he scored 10 goals and set up four more in 36 appearances across all competitions.
