Sheffield United boss Wilder on Webster interest, duo’s futures and ‘fire-sale’ claims

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has expressed interest in signing free agent defender Adam Webster, who recently left Brighton after an ACL injury. Wilder is confident the 31-year-old could make an immediate impact following his recovery. The manager acknowledged that Webster would need to undergo a medical and regain his fitness after missing a pre-season.

Wilder anticipates a hectic final week of the transfer window, with the potential for two or three additional signings to bolster the squad. He also addressed speculation of a player exit, confirming there has been interest in Rhys Norrington-Davies but stressed that the club will not allow any departures that leave them short-handed.

Wilder dismissed rumors of a mass departure, emphasizing that the club has no intention of selling players. Striker Tom Cannon, another target, has received interest, but Sheffield United has already rejected an offer for his services.
