Sheffield United Eyeing Woolfenden - Ipswich Town News

TWTD understands Sheffield United have renewed their interest in Blues central defender Luke Woolfenden.

The Blades were previously keen on Woolfenden in January 2020 during manager Chris Wilder’s first spell at Bramall Lane in the Premier League, but with the Blues making it clear he wasn’t for sale.

The 26-year-old, a key man in the back-to-back promotion side, has returned to the Town team for the last three matches having been out of favour for much of the first half of the season following the signing of Dara O’Shea.

However, the Blues added another defender, Ben Godfrey, to their squad on loan from Atalanta earlier in the week with the twice-capped-England international able to play either right-back or right centre-half, much like Axel Tuanzebe, who is closing in on a return from his hamstring injury.

We understand the Championship’s third-placed side are yet to make an approach and it remains to be seen whether the Blues would consider either a permanent or loan offer for the academy product, who is contracted until this summer with the club no option for an additional season.
