Wolves eyeing transfer swoop for Sheffield United duo
According to a report by Alan Nixon on Patreon for The Sun, Wolves are showing interest in Sheffield United’s Abel Ahmedhodzic and Gustavo Hamer as potential signings this summer. Gary O’Neil, who is part of Wolves’ recruitment team, is reportedly targeting a move for players from Bramall Lane following Sheffield United’s immediate return to the Championship under Chris Wilder.
Sheffield United has been facing challenges in strengthening their squad after relegation, with ongoing takeover issues limiting them to making only two free transfer signings so far: Jamie Shackleton from Leeds United and Sam McCallum from Norwich City.
Despite these constraints, Sheffield United is reportedly close to securing Bournemouth’s Welsh international forward Kieffer Moore and is also ahead of Leeds in the pursuit of Callum O’Hare, who recently left Coventry City.
The potential transfers highlight both clubs’ activities in the transfer market as they prepare for the upcoming season in their respective leagues.

The trials and tribulations of trying to keep hold of prized assets after falling to relegation from the top-flight are often invariable, with clubs routinely being subjected to transfer raids throughout the summer.
Tallying up a paltry return of just 16 points last term, it’s no real surprise to see that a small selection of Blades players have earned the opportunity to potentially stay in the Premier League.
Admittedly, Ahmedhodzic was part of a besieged backline that leaked no less than 104 goals – 2.7 per match – so it speaks volumes of his ability that he’s still managed to attract interest.
He’s clearly an extremely capable defender as we saw in United’s 22/23 promotion campaign and although a £20m offer would be difficult to turn down, they probably shouldn’t entertain much less than that.

Appearances | 34 |
Goals | 6 |
Tackles won | 41 |
Interceptions | 62 |

Keeping hold of Ahmedhodzic would be a statement of intent by United given his pedigree and proven class in the Championship, which will be crucial if they are to contend for promotion.
As will be keeping hold of Hamer, who was a revelation during his time in the division with Coventry and was genuinely impressive at times last season.
