Sheffield United sign West Ham United midfielder Houssein on loan | OneFootball

Sheffield United have completed the signing of West Ham United midfielder Halle Houssein on a season-long loan deal.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Blades this afternoon.

The 21-year-old midfielder joined West Ham United in summer 2022 after leaving Arsenal and she has continued her development with the East Londoners. Houssein has made a number of first team appearances for The Hammers.

Houssein has also experienced Barclays WSL2 football. She spent time on loan at former second tier side Reading during the 2023/2024 season prior to The Royals’ resignation from the elite game. The midfielder made 13 league appearances for the club.

On the international stage, Houssein has been capped by Turkey on eight occasions. She previously turned out for England in her youth.

After joining Sheffield United on loan, Houssein said “I’m really excited to be here. It’s a great opportunity and a great club, a great team and a great city, so I’m excited to kickstart the journey.

“I didn’t really know anyone but my first day everyone made me feel really welcome, everyone made me feel very welcome from minute one when I walked through the door.”

Houssein is Sheffield United’s sixth signing of the summer transfer window.
