AliousAs the 2024-25 Championship season approaches, both Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday are preparing for their opening matches in early August. The clubs have been actively strengthening their squads, as have their rivals.
In recent transfer news, Hull City has reportedly agreed to a £3 million deal with West Brom for striker Brandon Thomas-Asante. This move comes as Hull seeks to bolster their attack following Jaden Philogene’s departure to Aston Villa. Thomas-Asante, West Brom’s top scorer for the past two seasons, has only one year left on his contract, which Hull has leveraged to secure the deal.
Meanwhile, West Ham United continues to show interest in Leeds United’s Crysencio Summerville, although he’s one of several wingers they’re considering. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano suggests that West Ham will allocate part of their budget to sign a winger, but it may not necessarily be Summerville. Leeds United values the Championship player of the season between £30-40 million and is reluctant to sell, though they may face challenges in retaining him due to Premier League interest.
Romano emphasizes that West Ham typically negotiates with multiple players for the same position before finalizing a deal. He confirms that Summerville remains on their radar, but expects West Ham to make additional moves in the transfer market for that position.
These developments highlight the ongoing transfer activities and strategies of Championship clubs as they prepare for the upcoming season.
