Sheffield United looking at Stoke City midfielder Wouter Burger

Sheffield United are interested in signing Wouter Burger from Stoke City in the summer transfer window, according to TEAMtalk. The report has claimed Stoke do not want to sell Burger, but the Potters could part company with the 23-year-old defensive midfielder for £12 million.

Burger has been on the books of Stoke since the summer of 2023 when he joined from Basel. The 23-year-old defensive midfielder was one of the best players for the Poteters this past campaign. The Dutchman made 31 starts and eight substitute appearances in the Championship for Stoke this past season, scoring three goals and providing four assists in those games. Burger scored one goal in one Carabao Cup and played once in the FA Cup for the Potters this past campaign.

Sheffield United will play in the Championship next season after getting relegated from the Premier League, while Stoke ended the campaign 17th in the Championship table with 56 points from 46 games.
