Sheffield United star Gus Hamer is expected to depart from Bramall Lane this summer, with Everton and newly promoted Leeds United reportedly set to battle for the 27-year-old.
The Brazilian-born midfielder has been a crucial cog in Chris Wilder’s side this term, with the Blades reaching the Championship play-off final, before coming out on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline against Sunderland.
As per reports from talkSPORT, Hamer’s departure is expected over the summer, following in the footsteps of the previous Championship Player of the Season, Crysencio Summerville, who joined West Ham following his 2023/24 exploits.
Championship winners Leeds, alongside Everton, set to move into their new stadium under David Moyes, have entered the race, according to talkSPORT.
Should Hamer make the move to Merseyside, Everton would become the envy of Sheffield United supporters, with their talisman following in the footsteps of the man that came before him, Iliman Ndiaye, now operating as one of Everton’s key men.
Hamer has undoubtedly been the most important weapon in Chris Wilder’s arsenal this term, scoring nine goals and picking up seven assists on the way to picking up the Championship Player of the Season award.
However, you do not have to look too far into the past to find a player with a similar talismanic influence on Sheffield United.
