Blackburn Rovers' Joe Rothwell has been linked with Sheffield United in recent months to replace departed John Lundstram.

The Englishman is a technically strong player whose key strengths are his passing and dribbling skills. He played 39 Championship games this past season and averaged 1.3 dribbles and 27.5 passes per game. Apart from that he also contributed three goals and four assists.

The 26-year old's current contract with Blackburn is set to expire at the end of the 2021-22 season and Rovers may decide to cash in for him this summer as opposed to letting him leave on a free transfer next summer.


#1 Jonson Clarke-Harris (Peterborough United FC)

Sheffield United had the worst attacking record in the Premier League last campaign. The South Yorkshire club scored just 20 goals throughout the 2020-21 Premier League season.

Peterborough United striker Jonson Clarke-Harris has been linked with a move to Barmall Lane in recent months and could be the answer to the Blades' attacking woes.

The 27-year old scored 31 goals in 45 league games this past season, winning the Golden Boot in the process. He was awarded the EFL Player of the Season accolade for his performances and was also included in the Team of the Season.
