Talks are ongoing with 22-year-old English midfielder Andre Brooks. Last month, he, along with Femi Seriki, attracted interest from clubs including Everton and Club Brugge, though a deal did not materialize. Chris Wilder told The Star that contract discussions are still ongoing and that he anticipates positive meetings with the owners in the next few days. The manager explained that while there is an existing option in Brooks' contract, there will be discussions to definitively extend the player's deal, as protecting the club's prospects is a high priority. In the 2025/2026 Championship season, Brooks has made 30 appearances, scoring 5 goals and providing 3 assists. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €3.00m.
