Ciaran Clark faces an agonising wait over his Sheffield United future after the club was handed a transfer embargo. Defaulting on payments to another club has forced the EFL to place a ban on the Blades for the foreseeable future.
In a recent financial statement, Sheff United owed just over £18million in transfer fees. A healthy 14-point cushion between themselves and third place in the Championship makes Paul Heckingbottom’s side overwhelming favourites for promotion.
On-loan defender Clark - who arrived from Newcastle United in the summer - is hoping to secure a permanent deal at Bramall Lane once his contract expires in June. Despite injuries hampering most of his season, the 33-year-old has impressed in a three-man backline when fit.
