According to a report from Berkshire Live, Sheffield United have joined Leeds United in the race to sign Reading midfielder John Swift.
The 25-year-old has been one of the most impressive central midfielders in the Championship this term, leading to interest from Leeds. And now, Sheffield United are also plotting a swoop for the Englishman.
Swift still has two years left on his current contract with Reading. However, manager Mark Bowen has admitted that the club could be forced to sell some of their key players this summer in order to balance the books.
This had put Leeds United on high alert, with Marcelo Bielsa looking to strengthen his squad as the Whites prepare for life in the Premier League. (h/t Berkshire Live)
However, they will now have to battle local rivals Sheffield United. The Blades, as per the report, have already submitted an offer of £3.5m to sign the 25-year-old playmaker.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Swift. But as things stand, it seems quite certain that he will be on his way out of Reading once the season ends.
