Rotherham United had also planned a move for One. However, the Sheffield United player is now expected to join the Imps in their third-tier promotion race, rather than the Millers in their battle against relegation to League Two.

Rotherham United have been linked with 19-year-old Ryan One for much of the winter window, but a move has not yet been completed. Chris Wilder had previously stressed the need to not have a reduced number of players in his squad. That was before Bamford extended his contract. Bamford is staying, and Tyrese Campbell, Tom Cannon and Danny Ings are in the striker department. Since Bamford's debut against Sheffield Wednesday, the Scottish youth international has not played and has been absent from the last six matchday squads, including Sunday's FA Cup third round defeat against Mansfield Town.

It is reported that Rotherham United are exploring a loan deal for Sheffield United's young forward, Ryan One, for the remainder of the season. The 19-year-old, who holds both Scottish and French nationality and is on a long-term contract, has found regular game time difficult to secure since his six-figure transfer from Hamilton Academical in the summer of 2023. He has made six Championship appearances this season. It is expected that the Scottish youth international will depart on a short-term basis to gain more experience in senior football. Rotherham are looking into a potential loan agreement with their South Yorkshire rivals. The Rotherham Advertiser has also stated that the two clubs have made contact with each other to discuss the possibility of such a deal. According to Transfermarkt, the player has a current market value of €700k. He has also been linked with Sturm Graz.
