SHEFFIELD UNITED are set to confirm the signing of Leeds United utility man Jamie Shackleton shortly.
The 24-year-old turned down a new deal at his boyhood club and after undergoing a medical earlier this week, he is expected to be announced as a Blades player soon - and become the club's first new arrival of the summer window. Transfer business has been stymied by the ongoing takeover imbroglio at Bramall Lane, but Shackleton is now close to being signed off.
Shackleton, who joined Leeds as a youngster, found opportunities hard to come by under Daniel Farke last term and the prospect of regular game-time with the Blades, who are starting out on a major rebuild following the departure of a number of established players, has enticed him down the M1. Shackleton, who spent the 2022-23 season on loan at Millwall, made just 11 Championship appearances in the last campaign for Leeds and most arrived early on.
