Overview

  • Feyenoord has reached an agreement to sign Anel Ahmedhodzic from Sheffield United for a fee reported to be below its club-record €8 million
  • Ahmedhodzic’s one year of contract remaining at Bramall Lane prompted United to cash in now rather than risk losing him for free next summer
  • Two bids from Feyenoord for Middlesbrough centre-back Rav van den Berg were turned down, effectively ending their interest in the under-21 international
  • Sheffield United boss Ruben Selles must reshuffle his defence less than a week before the Championship opener after losing a key centre-back
  • The Dutch side bolstered their back line earlier in the window by signing Japanese international Tsuyoshi Watanabe
