Under the watchful eye of manager Chris Wilder, who is committed to strengthening the squad’s strength in their effort to stay in the Premier League beyond this season, the Blades are actively pursuing possible recruits as the January transfer window draws to a close.
Sheffield United, who are currently bottom of the table, have struggled defensively and offensively this season, as seen by the 51 goals they have let up in 21 league games. With just 17 goals scored, they have a similarly worrisome scoring record and are far from being able to sustain their elite ranking.
They have added a burst of pace with the summer acquisition of Cameron Archer from Aston Villa, but with just three goals in the Premier League, it is obvious that they need additional attacking punch.
Ben Brereton-Diaz joined this month on loan from Villarreal. Playing on the left side of a front three, he scored in his new team’s Premier League debut, a 2-2 draw with West Ham.
Sekou Mara has started just once in the Championship for the Saints this season, although he has scored twice and provided an assist.
