Sunderland have agreed a deal for Sheffield United target Daniel Ballard, according to Pete O’Rourke on Twitter .

Ballard was being monitored by Sheffield United, though there were no reports of any bids being tabled by United.

With this breaking news reporting Sunderland have agreed a deal for the Northern Irish centre-back, I’m sure Sheffield United’s attention will be solely on Anel Ahmedhodzic.

United are desperate to sign a centre-back as they are very light in this area of the field. Last season the depth in this area came from Kacper Łopata and Kyron Gordon at times. But with the pair being young, they’d much prefer the two to be playing regularly, rather than sitting on the bench and acting as cover.

The Blades now have all of their eggs in one basket in the Bosnian international.
