According to Le Republicain Lorrain (via GFFN), Sheffield United are set to sign Metz striker Habib Diallo ahead of tomorrow’s transfer deadline. The 25-year-old pulled out of his side’s squad to face Lorient today and to travel to England this summer. The Blades have agreed a £16 million deal for the Senegalese and will hope to get the necessary documentations done before the end of tomorrow. Diallo has also been linked with Tottenham Hotspur and West Bromwich Albion, and he was said to be keen on a move to the former. Jose Mourinho’s side had asked about the Senegal international in January, and while he was looking forward to joining the Portuguese, it doesn’t appear that a move has worked out.
