da 888casino: With the dust having settled on Sheffield United’s fantastic Championship campaign, Chris Wilder will now be keen to build towards prolonging the club’s stay in the Premier League.
da cassino: Yet in order to do so, it is imperative that he brings in several quality additions to Bramall Lane when the transfer window opens in July.
Although he already has a strong squad at his disposal, Wilder could benefit significantly from bringing in Kieran Dowell on a permanent deal this summer. According to the Liverpool Echo, the Blades are reportedly weighing up a move for the 21-year-old with Huddersfield Town also monitoring his situation at Everton.
Having joined the Blades on loan from the Toffees in January, the midfielder showed glimmers of his talent during the second half of the 2018/19 season, providing crucial contributions against West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa.
A perfect player for Wilder’s 3-5-2 system, Dowell produced encouraging performances both in the central positions as well as on the wing and therefore would bring some much-needed versatility to United.
Whereas it is fair to say that he did have his troubles with consistency during his 5-month stint with the Blades, there is no reason why Dowell cannot develop into a fantastic player under the guidance of Wilder and his assistant Alan Knill.
Already an England under-21 international, the £2.7m-rated ace (via Transfermarkt) clearly has all the ingredients needed to thrive at the top level in order to fulfil his potential, he may have to leave Goodison Park.
Since graduating from Everton’s academy in 2014, Dowell has only made five starts for the club in all competitions and with the likes of Gylfi Sigurdsson, Idrissa Gueye and Morgan Schneiderlin all ahead of him in the pecking order, he could surely be attracted towards a move to United.
Although it will be far from cheap to secure the services of the midfielder, it is well worth the risk for the Blades as he could prove to be the difference between relegation and survival next season.
What do you think United fans? Would you welcome a summer swoop for Dowell? Could he thrive under the guidance of Wilder next season? Get in touch below.
