Wilder's men are lining up Lewis Dobbin, who had a fine season on loan at Preston North End, scoring 11 goals.

Sheffield United has a genuine interest in Lewis Dobbin ahead of the 2026/27 campaign. It is said that Villa values Dobbin at approximately £10 million.

Lewis Dobbin is reportedly a potential summer transfer target for Sheffield United. According to The Sheffield Star, United have started to compile a list of wingers, a position considered one of the priorities they need to fill. The Aston Villa forward is on that shortlist and was on it before his recent performance against the Blades, where he scored the winning goal for Preston North End at Bramall Lane. Dobbin has been on loan at Preston from Villa for the season, scoring ten goals in forty appearances in all competitions, and has also had previous loan spells in the Championship with West Bromwich Albion and Norwich City.
