Sheffield United are keen on a move for Norwich City full-back Sam McCallum, according to Alan Nixon.
Chris Wilder’s side have plenty of work to do this summer if they are to give themselves the best chance of returning to the Premier League, having endured such a disappointing 2023/24 campaign at the top level.
There are plenty of areas that need to be addressed, including the goalkeeping department with Wes Foderingham and Jordan Amissah both being released on the expiration of their contracts at Bramall Lane.
More options at centre-back and in the striker department will also be required – and what formation they play next term will probably dictate some of the additions they need to make in other areas.
Regardless of the formation they play though, the full-back/wing-back area must be looked at by the Blades, who have released George Baldock and new Sheffield Wednesday signing Max Lowe.
Jayden Bogle is an option on the right-hand side and Rhys Norrington-Davies can operate on the left, but the latter’s injury record in recent years hasn’t been positive and even if he does manage to get back to fitness, he could potentially be required in the centre.
With this in mind, two left-backs may need to be recruited in South Yorkshire before the summer window opens, and it looks as though they have at least one option on their shortlist.
Sheffield United in Sam McCallum battle
United are targeting a move for Norwich’s McCallum, according to Nixon.
The full-back has been released on the expiration of his contract at Carrow Road, something that came as a major surprise to some considering he was a fairly important first-teamer under David Wagner during the 2023/24 campaign.
Not only this, but fellow left-back Dimi Giannoulis has also been released, leaving the Canaries with work to do on the left-hand side in the coming months.
