Southampton owner Dragan Solak has stated his desire to sign a top player in the number 10 position to support Finn Azaz, with English and Irish player Callum O'Hare of Sheffield United identified as a target. O'Hare has been a prominent attacking midfielder in the Championship for years, not only with the Blades but also previously with Coventry City. The 28-year-old had a career-best season last season, scoring nine goals and providing seven assists, which resulted in him being named Sheffield United's Player of the Year. While Southampton are under no pressure to sell players, Sheffield United need to raise funds to adhere to financial rules, making O'Hare a valuable asset to sell. The Blades are in a strong position in any potential negotiations, as it has been reported that O'Hare has two years remaining on his contract, with an option for a third. The midfielder, who joined Sheffield United in July 2024 and has been capped once by England U20, has a current market value of €5.00m according to Transfermarkt.
