Exclusive: Sheffield United plot raid to sign Wolves 22-yr-old

Sheffield United are eyeing a loan move for Wolves defender Ki-Jana Hoever, sources have told Football Insider.

The Blades are in the market for a new right-back after selling Jayden Bogle to Leeds United in this window.

The Championship club views Hoever as the ideal replacement, ensuring that area of the pitch is covered for the new season.

The 22-year-old first joined Wolves in 2020 but has struggled to cement himself in the first team, making just 25 appearances.

Hoever has had four loan spells since that point with the most recent of which was with Stoke City.

His current deal at Molineux Stadium expires in 2026.

Sheffield United could gain an experienced Championship player in Ki-Jana Hoever

Although the defender is contracted to a Premier League club, he boasts far more experience playing in the second tier of English football.

Hoever has made 55 appearances in the Championship for Stoke City, with 44 of those coming last season when he established himself as a regular in the team.

He been a strong defensive option, but has also proven to be an attacking threat with eight goals and six assists in the league.

The Dutch defender brings a level of versatility with him, despite primarily being a right-back.

Hoever has the capability of being a central defender, a left-back, and even a right midfielder if needed.
