Sheffield United 'in talks' with Trabzonspor over Harrison Burrows as potential £5m bid mooted
Sheffield United wing-back Harrison Burrows is reportedly being pursued by Turkish outfit Trabzonspor.
The 23-year-old arrived at Bramall Lane in the summer of 2024, when the Blades saw off competition from rivals to prise him from Peterborough United.
In his maiden campaign, he was part of the side that reached the Championship play-off final only to lose to Sunderland.
He has made 24 league appearances this term, although has only started 13 of those games.
Sheffield United’s Harrison Burrows eyed
It appears a January exit could be on the cards for Burrows, with Trabzonspor seemingly on his trail.
According to Sky Sports, the Turkish club are in talks with the Blades and have seen a £3.5m offer knocked back.
It has been suggested a second bid worth £5m could arrive, a figure that could potentially test the Sheffield United resolve.
Writing on the Sky Sports transfer centre live blog, correspondent Lyall Thomas said: “Trabzonspor are in talks with Sheffield United to sign Harrison Burrows.
“It is believed an offer of £3.5m has already been turned down and second offer may arrive to the tune of £5m.”
Sheffield United’s January position
Blades boss Chris Wilder has spoken openly about his desire for a shuffling of the pack, although he may be reluctant to lose a player of Burrows’ calibre.
A set-piece specialist with an eye for goal, Burrows weighed in with six goals and six assists in all competitions last season.
However, a £5m sale could help Sheffield United on the recruitment front. The Blades have already loaned Ki-Jana Hoever from Wolverhampton Wanderers but do not appear to be finished with the January window.
An array of names have been linked with the Blades, including former Leeds United midfielder Joe Rothwell and Dundee defender Luke Graham.
