Transfer news and rumours: Souttar to Sheffield United, Sanchez to Udinese

07/08/2024 Raymond 0

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.

Kristjaan Speakman finally breaks his silence as Sunderland confirm first transfer decision

Kristjaan Speakman has finally spoken out as Sunderland confirmed their first summer transfer. The sporting director has kept a low profile since the club began searching for a new manager in February. Apart from a statement from owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus earlier this month, communication with fans has been minimal. Louis-Dreyfus mentioned that an appointment would be made “imminently,” but ten days have passed, and the club still appears far from securing a new head coach.

Despite the silence on the managerial front, Sunderland made a significant move yesterday by confirming their first outgoing transfer of the summer. Alex Bass has joined Notts County on a permanent deal after making only two senior appearances since his move to Wearside in 2022. Speakman commented on Bass’ departure, stating on the club’s official website: “Alex had a successful loan last season and is eager to continue playing regular football. After discussing multiple options this summer and considering Alex’s future and the development of our younger goalkeepers, we agreed this move was best for all parties. We wish Alex the best of luck in the next stage of his career.”
