Wrexham have negotiated a £7 million deal with Sheffield United for Callum O’Hare, as Phil Parkinson approaches a major deadline day signing.

The Red Dragons have been attempting to boost Parkinson’s team before the deadline on Tuesday night, and their attention has shifted to the 28-year-old midfielder.

Blades manager Chris Wilder stated on Monday that Wrexham had made an approach for the midfielder, but he made it clear that he wanted to keep him at Bramall Lane.

Both teams are winless in their first three Championship games, with United leading after three consecutive draws.

However, the Championship clubs have finally agreed on a deal that will see the midfielder join North Wales.

Wrexham agree £7 million Callum O’Hare agreement with Sheffield United.

According to Sky Sports News reporter Anthony Joseph, Wrexham and the Blades have reached an agreement that will see O’Hare go for £7 million.

Joseph says that the midfielder is scheduled to have a physical with Wrexham on deadline day, before paperwork is formally completed.

During his pre-match press conference, Wilder admitted that an offer was on the table and that he was not shocked by the interest.

Along with this, he quipped that Wrexham are “in for half of the division,” with the Welsh club aiming to make a number of transfers in the remaining parts of the summer window, including one to O’Hare.

Callum O’Hare might make a statement signing for Wrexham.

Wrexham’s spending prowess has been well chronicled during their climb through the EFL under its Hollywood ownership group, with £8 million spent on shotstopper Anthony Patterson earlier this month alone.

However, O’Hare’s comments may be one of the most significant yet.

The attacking midfielder has made 229 second-tier games, including spells with Coventry, Sheffield United, and Aston Villa, scoring 62 goals.

He has vast experience at this level and has played often for teams vying for the division’s top spot.

Capable of driving the ball and acting between the lines, O’Hare could make a significant difference in a Wrexham side eager to improve on a promising season in which Parkinson’s side just missed out on the playoffs.

Furthermore, the move demonstrates the strength of the Racecourse project.

It is widely known how ambitious Wrexham are, but being able to tempt a player of O’Hare’s calibre away from one of the Championship’s greatest clubs is a true statement of purpose, mirroring the club’s quick progress through the tiers.
