The Sheffield United forward has been linked with clubs including Tottenham Hotspur and AFC Bournemouth.
The Sheffield United forward David Brooks has signed up to the same agency that represents a number of top players, including Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane (Sheffield Star) – causing some Blades supporters to fear the worst.
Brooks impressed in his debut season at Sheffield United, prompting reports of interest from Premier League clubs such as Tottenham, Everton and Bournemouth – the latter of whom are said to have made an informal approach for the Welshman last winter.
Incidentally, three Bournemouth players, Callum Wilson, Steve Cook and Andrew Surman, are already on the books of Unique Sports Management – Brooks’ alleged new representatives – along with the former Sheffield United striker Che Adams, who left Bramall Lane for Birmingham City two years ago (Transfermarkt).
The Cherries also sold Benik Afobe to Wolverhampton Wanderers in a deal worth a reported £12.5 million on Friday.
This is what United fans are saying on Twitter…
Other notable USM clients include the respective Crystal Palace and Fulham wingers Wilfried Zaha and Ryan Sessegnon – themselves reported Tottenham targets – the Newcastle United defender Jamaal Lascelles and the Sheffield Wednesday striker Atdhe Nuhiu.
The former Sheffield United striker Darius Henderson works for the company in a consultancy role.
Will Brooks’ change of agency spell bad news for Sheffield United?
