Another potential loan signing can be crossed off Sheffield United’s list after he moved to Queens Park Rangers instead.
Whether the player in question, Burnley’s Nahki Wells, was ever a target for the Blades remains to seen.
Although, as a semi-prolific Championship striker with a bit of pace and excellent movement, one suspects he will have been considered before QPR pounced – making the Bermudan their second offensive capture of the day after Brighton’s Tomer Hemed.
And some Sheffield United fans fear their side may have missed a trick, as their own search for a new centre forward looks set to continue into the loan-to-buy window’s final week.

A regular scorer for Bradford City in Leagues One and Two, Wells went on to find the net 45 times in 144 Huddersfield appearances before Burnley came calling at the start of last season.
