'High-profile' players to join Blades within days

Sheffield United boss Ruben Selles says he expects to see a number of "high-profile" players, including Aston Villa forward Louie Barry, join the club within the next week.

The Spaniard worked with Barry last season at Hull City after the 22-year-old joined on loan during the January transfer window following an impressive spell with League One side Stockport County.

"I expect to have a couple of players in the next two to five days," Selles told BBC Radio Sheffield following Saturday's 5-0 pre-season win over Rotherham.

"Louie has been there, we know him really well. We will see what happens.

"I don't want numbers to complete a squad, I want quality. The boys that we are working on will be, in my opinion, high-profile players."

It's not just incoming players, though, that he will need to have his eye on.

Midfielder Gus Hamer has been linked with a potential move to Dutch side PSV Eindhoven but Selles doesn't want to see the 28-year-old leave Bramall Lane.

"I want to keep Gustavo with us. I think he has been fantastic for the club; his performances, his way to play, his quality and how decisive he is the league," he added.

"We know the market is fluid and things can happen but our main target will be to keep him."
