It’s been a slow start to the summer for Sheffield United, who haven’t made the impact in the transfer window that many wanted at Bramall Lane.

However, a deal is edging closer, with reports suggesting that John Egan will be arriving on a permanent deal from Brentford, with the Blades looking like they will be successful in their pursuit of the defender.

Egan has been with Brentford for two years, making 67 appearances in the Championship during that time.

The 25-year-old has impressed, with Egan building a solid reputation as a Championship centre-back.

As expected, after such a slow start to the summer, there was plenty of reaction from Sheffield United’s fanbase on Twitter.

Here’s how they reacted to the latest news on Egan…

Clearly, Egan is highly-rated amongst Sheffield United’s supporters, with many delighted that it seems he will be joining them next season.
