England handed Dozzell caps at various youth levels but living up to his potential has proven difficult in recent years. A fresh start in South Yorkshire, however, could potentially breathe new life into his career.

Sheffield United have been shopping in the free agent market since their relegation from the Premier League and have already signed three previously unattached players.

Jamie Shackleton has joined from Leeds United, Sam McCallum has put pen to paper after leaving Norwich City and Callum O’Hare has been snapped up following his Coventry City exit.

The Blades have also signed Wales international Kieffer Moore, although are thought to have paid a fee to prise the frontman from AFC Bournemouth.
