Failing to land move to from West Ham to Sheffield United is a missed opportunity for Domingos Quina.
And while the Blades should be disappointed not to have clinched a move for the talented youngster, it is Quina who shoul have bigger regrets.
Quina, 17, signed for West Ham from Chelsea’s youth academy in 2016 but has not yet progressed to the first team.
He got an opportunity in the Carabao Cup, but he is not yet in the picture when it comes to Premier League appearances.
Sheffield United were offering him a chance of regular football on loan, and for Quina it is a missed opportunity.
The winger has lost out on joining a side who are among the most exciting teams in the Championship at present.
Their 4-2 win over rivals Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend was sensational, but it was no fluke either.
The Blades are in fourth place in the division and just two points off top spot.
There is no guarantee Sheffield United will return for him in the January transfer window, but if Quina is approached, he must leap at the chance.
This has the potential to be a memorable season for Chris Wilder’s team, and Quina would be lucky to be a part of it.
