According to The Telegraph's Mike McGrath, Sheffield United have agreed a loan move for Brentford's Romelle Donovan, an English winger.

The Premier League club has chosen Sheffield United to oversee his progression with the objective of him becoming a regular for the Bees in the future. The player, who has been capped by England at U20 level, made 4 Premier League appearances last season, providing one assist. He joined Brentford in July 2025 and his contract runs until 2030.
