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.

Southampton’s celebrations had barely subsided when they began planning their return to the Premier League. Adam Armstrong, a former striker for Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers, scored the decisive goal in the Championship play-off final against Leeds United. This victory ensured that Southampton’s stint in the second tier lasted just one season under the iconic Wembley arch. As the club prepares for the top flight, manager Russell Martin faces crucial decisions regarding players like Che Adams and Alex McCarthy, whose contracts are nearing their end at St Mary’s. Additionally, Armel Bella-Kotchap, Lyanco, and Duje Caleta-Car are set to return from loan spells, adding to the complexity of the squad overhaul needed for the Premier League. To address these challenges, new signings will be essential to enhance the squad’s quality and depth.
