“Leicester City Set to Swim in MILLIONS as Mega Windfall Deal Nears SHOCKING Finale!”

City Academy Product Drives Blades to Final, Promotion Could Trigger Permanent Move

Sheffield United are just one game away from securing promotion to the Premier League, a success that could also benefit Leicester City financially.

 

The Blades cruised to a 3-0 victory over Bristol City in the second leg of their Championship play-off semi-final, sealing a dominant 6-0 aggregate win and booking their spot at Wembley.

 

Leicester loanee Hamza Choudhury featured for the full 90 minutes at right-back and is expected to start the final against either Sunderland or Coventry.

 

Should Sheffield United win promotion, the chances of Choudhury making a permanent switch to Bramall Lane may increase.

Since joining on loan in January, Choudhury has played 18 matches—missing only one—and has delivered exactly what was expected of him.

 

Whether deployed as a defensive midfielder or right-back, his ability to break up play has been vital.

 

He ranks among the Championship’s top five for combined tackles and interceptions per game.

 

Given his versatility and defensive prowess, Sheffield United may consider activating the option to buy included in his loan deal.

 

While promotion isn’t essential for the transfer to happen, the financial boost from reaching the Premier League would certainly improve the odds.

 

Manager Chris Wilder has praised Choudhury’s “Premier League class and quality,” a clear indication of the club’s belief in his top-flight potential.

 

If the Blades opt against a permanent deal, Choudhury may still have a role to play back at Leicester.

 

At 27, he was deemed surplus to requirements under Ruud van Nistelrooy, but with uncertainty surrounding the Dutchman’s future and a likely squad overhaul ahead, Choudhury’s prospects could change.

 

Leicester had no shortage of midfielders this season, with Wilfred Ndidi, Boubakary Soumare, Harry Winks, and Oliver Skipp all ahead of Choudhury. However, three of those players could depart this summer.

 

Both Winks and Soumare are entering the final year of their contracts and may seek moves to avoid another Championship campaign.

 

Ndidi, with two years left on his deal, could be sold for a profit if interest arises.

 

To avoid a major midfield rebuild, City might find value in keeping Choudhury.

 

While academy prospects like Henry Cartwright and Sammy Braybrooke offer potential, neither has been extensively tested at senior level, making Choudhury a safer option for depth and experience.
