↵Championship transfer round-up: Big bid reported for Sheffield United striker as Hull City sign midfielderSheffield United are in danger of losing a third striker they wanted to keep this summer, whilst Hull City have signed a much-needed reinforcement with inside knowledge of coach Tim Walter’s methods.offer the Blades will find hard to turn down, especially with a proposed takeover still to be approved.
The Bramall Lane club had a clearout after relegation from the Premier League in the summer, but were hoping to keep young strikers Osula and Daniel Jebbison.Jebbison ran his contract down and joined Bournemouth for a development fee, with £5m Kieffer Moore moving in the opposite direction. Similarly, the Blades had also hoped Oli McBurnie would sign a new contract, only for him to join Las Palmas on a Bosman deal.Now Danish Under-21 international Osula is thought to be subject of an offer which would guarantee his club £10m, plus a potential extra £5m in add-ons.
The arrival of versatile midfielder Marvin Mehlem at Hull for an undisclosed fee, confirmed on Thursday, was expected after he watched Tuesday’s 2-2 friendly draw with Fiorentina. But then so did West Bromwich Albion’s Brandon Thomas-Asante, and he is now expected to join Coventry City after a late change of heart.
Mehlem has signed a two-year contract to become only the Tigers’ third signing of the window, having done the relatively straight-forward deals of landing free agent Cody Drameh after he was released by Leeds United and triggering an option in Ryan Giles’ loan from Luton Town to make it permanent.
