Sheffield United could decide to make a late move for Bournemouth striker Kieffer Moore before Friday.

United are ramping up efforts in the transfer market as the window draws to an end before this weekend.

The Blades have signed eight new players and look to be on course to adding another in the form of Luke Thomas from Leicester.

However, it seems Paul Heckingbottom is not stopping there and he’s looking at how he can use his Premier League loan options to further add quality to the squad.

Attacking players are the key for Heckingbottom and he is widely expected to make use of both Premier Leagues in this area of the pitch.

And according to The Telegraph’s Mike McGrath, Bournemouth forward Kieffer Moore is among the players United are looking to sign.

Taking to his social media account on X, McGrath has said that Moore is a man in-demand as the window draws to a close and Moore is a player on United’s list of potential signings.

United have signed Cameron Archer and Benie Traore this summer to help in the attacking third. But Paul Heckingbottom is keen to add more, following the loss of both Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge this summer.

Kieffer Moore would be a bit of a left-field signing by United really. Given we have a few target-men type players in McBurnie and Osula, it would seem odd to bring Moore in right now.

However, the Welsh international is a bit of a handful and to stay up, United might need to do things a bit differently. Certainly, in terms of aerial ability, few in the league are better than Moore.

There is likely a whole list of potential signings sat in front of Heckingbottom right now. If Moore does end up being one, it could signal a shift in how we want to attack Premier League defences.
