Sheffield United are facing competition for Harrison Burrows with Preston North End launching a bid, according to Pete O’Rourke.

Sheffield United and Preston North End are set to battle it out in the Championship next season.

The Blades join the Lilywhites in the second-tier after a dismal Premier League campaign, and a big task lays ahead of Chris Wilder and co with a huge rebuild awaiting this summer.

However, stalling takeover talks continue to hamper their transfer business. It has made for a frustrating start to the window, though reports have claimed that deals are in the offing at Bramall Lane.

Peterborough United star Harrison Burrows has been heavily linked with reports stating a deal for him an teammate Ricky-Jade Jones could be tied up soon. Now though, they’re facing a hijack bid for Burrows.

Writing on X, reporter Pete O’Rourke claims that Preston North End have made an offer for the Posh star.

It is not said how much the bid is, but Burrows is expected to go for a decent fee after a stunning League One season despite the fact he has now entered the last year of his contract at London Road.
