Bagayoko
The Premiership new boys are looking to boost their squad in all areas, including upfront despite accruing Ade Akinbiyi for £1,750,000 from Burnley last January.

And, it has emerged that the new Blades target is Mali international Mamadou Bagayoko who applies his trade at French club Nantes. He was purchased from AC Ajaccio in 2004 but the 27, year old was sent out on loan last season to Nice.

However is Nice spell didn't go quite well, scoring five goals all season. Nether-the-less it is believed that Bagayoko wishes to re-structure his career in England.
