Two days ago, we covered claims coming out of Belgium that Sheffield United have shown ‘serious interest’ in signing Anderlecht’s Elias Cobbaut.
It was also explained the Blades haven’t submitted a proposal for the defender, but they were expected to prepare a bid.
Le Soir and Het Laatste Nieuws both reported the Jupiler Pro League side are ready to give the green signal for a transfer in the winter market, since they are short of funds.
It’s stated Anderlecht are ready to allow the 22-year-old leave the club and have slapped a €10m asking price on him.
Het Nieuwsblad adds the price quoted is not ‘illogical’ because of the player’s age and his versatility. Cobbaut can operate as a left-back or centre-back.
Sheffield United links are once again mentioned by HBVL and Het Nieuwsblad, but both newspapers explain there is ‘still no deal’ for a transfer.
