Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has accused Wrexham of a blanket bombing approach after the Welsh club lodged a bid for midfielder Callum O'Hare. He confirmed a bid from north Wales and said it is not a done deal.

According to Wales Online, Phil Parkinson wants one more attacking signing before Tuesday night’s deadline as Wrexham push for Premier League promotion, and their offer for O'Hare is understood to be around 3.5 million. They have pursued several options late in the window.

O'Hare, a key figure in Wilder's squad, has two years left on his Bramall Lane contract and other Championship clubs have shown interest. The Blades ownership are weighing up whether to accept the approach.

Speaking on Monday before Tuesday's trip to Bolton Wanderers, Wilder said the bid sits with chief executive Steve Bettis and the owners. He added he would prefer to keep O'Hare, with any decision to be handled by those responsible.

Wilder also suggested Wrexham, backed by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have made bids for multiple players in O'Hare’s position, describing a blanket bombing strategy across the market. He reiterated that nothing is done and that circumstances could change.
