Callum O’Hare has officially joined Sheffield United after departing Coventry City as a free agent this summer.
Despite receiving a tempting offer from the MLS and interest from clubs like Leicester City, Southampton, and Burnley, the 26-year-old opted to join the Blades. Sheffield United reportedly matched top-flight wages to secure the attacking midfielder, who reunites with former Coventry City teammate Gustavo Hamer at Bramall Lane.
In a statement on the club’s website, Sheffield United announced the signing of O’Hare on a four-year deal, following the arrival of Wales international Kieffer Moore. Manager Chris Wilder expressed his excitement about adding O’Hare to the squad, praising his talent and fit with the team’s culture.
O’Hare shared his enthusiasm about joining Sheffield United, mentioning the positive interactions he had with Wilder and his belief in the club’s ambitions for a quick return to the Premier League. While some fans may question his choice to remain in the Championship, O’Hare saw the move as a step forward in his career.
On the other hand, reports indicate that Wolves are interested in signing Hamer from Sheffield United for £20m, with Coventry City set to benefit from a potential sell-on clause. The ongoing transfer saga adds another layer of intrigue to the dynamic between these two former Coventry players.
