Transfer news and rumours: Souttar to Sheffield United, Sanchez to Udinese
Leicester City, newly promoted to the Premier League, have announced that towering defender Harry Souttar will be loaned to Sheffield United for the 2024-25 season. The Australian international, who has struggled for playing time at Leicester, will join the Blades without an option for a permanent transfer. Last season, Souttar made just four appearances for Leicester, and with strong competition in the defensive lineup, he has been deemed surplus to requirements. Excited about the move, Souttar stated, “As soon as I found out I was available and the club was looking at me, it was a no-brainer to come here.” Despite being under contract with Leicester until 2028, Souttar has played only 16 games for the Foxes since his January 2023 transfer from Stoke City.
