Sheffield United 'register interest' in Huddersfield Town's Cameron Ashia as Fulham, Burnley and Celtic linked
Huddersfield Town midfielder Cameron Ashia linked with a raft of clubs including Sheffield United and Fulham
Sheffield United have reportedly registered interest in Huddersfield Town prodigy Cameron Ashia.
An attack-minded midfielder, Ashia has made swift progress since joining Huddersfield’s academy in 2024. Over the course of the 2025/26 campaign, the 21-year-old registered six goals and three assists across 31 appearances in all competitions.
Huddersfield missed out on a place in the League One play-offs, slipping to ninth in the table, and it appears they could now have to face interest in one of their highly-rated prospects.
Interest in Huddersfield Town’s Cameron Ashia
Mail Online have credited a raft of clubs, including Huddersfield’s Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United, with interest in Ashia.
It has been claimed the Blades have registered interest alongside Southampton, Burnley, Ipswich Town and Cardiff City as well as German sides Hoffenheim and Stuttgart.
Established Premier League outfit Fulham are said to have lodged an enquiry, while there is also thought to have been contact from Scottish heavyweights Celtic and Rangers.
Ashia recently had a one-year extension option in his deal activated, meaning he is now under contract until the summer of 2027. The option may have prevented Huddersfield losing him on a free transfer, although the Terriers do still appear to be in a vulnerable position.
The report has suggested Ashia could be available for as little as £500,000, a bargan fee for such a promising player.
Cameron Ashia’s impressive development at Huddersfield Town
Ashia was recently awarded named the Antoni’s Memorial Academy Player of the Year by Huddersfield and drew praise from Terriers academy director Jon Worthington.
He said: “This season has been a massive opportunity for Cameron to make an impact in the firdt team, and we are really proud to see how he has developed since joining the club a couple of years ago, and see the progression that he has made throughout the 2025/26 campaign.
“His dedication and commitment to improve has remained at a consistent and high level since his arrival, and that is something that is valued both at the academy and at the club as a whole.
“Cameron travelled with the first team to Austria in pre-season, which was an experience that we knew would be incredibly important for his development. From there, some of his key strengths were recognised, with him being included in the second League One match day squad of the season.
“To see him come off the bench that day and score on his league debut was a moment that was really special for him, but is also a memory that we cherish at the academy. We are constantly striving to help players transition through the academy, with the aim of them hopefully representing thefirst team one day.
“Just one of a handful of academy graduates to make the leap into the first team this season, we are delighted that Cameron has received this award, and we hope that he continues to positively apply himself moving forward.”
