Sheffield United submits improved bid for Leicester City defender Harry Souttar

Sheffield United has submitted an improved bid to Leicester City for defender Harry Souttar. The Championship club is looking to strengthen its defense, specifically seeking a partner for Japhet Tanganga.

Reports indicate the new offer is in the region of £8 million. While some sources suggest Leicester City's valuation may be closer to £10 million, Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder confirmed the club has put in a revised bid for an unnamed player, describing the move as a positive step.

Souttar, an Australian international, previously had a loan spell at Bramall Lane during the 2024/25 season before suffering an Achilles injury. Sheffield United's ability to complete the transfer is influenced by the loss of relegation parachute payments, forcing the club to be strategic with its spending following the anticipated sale of Gus Hamer to Coventry City.
