Newcastle United are reportedly among a number of Premier League clubs chasing Norwegian international Sander Berge. The 24-year-old stayed at home as Sheffield United drew 0-0 with National League outfit Wrexham yesterday.
After the game, manager Paul Heckingbottom confirmed he was told to leave the midfielder out of his squad as talks are ongoing about a possible exit. He said: "Our club is speaking to other clubs regarding him. It doesn't mean he is going anywhere, Sander is happy here.
"But the situation we find ourselves in is mid-takeover, transfer embargo, no clarity on which way it is going and financial issues. One way to resolve the issues is to sell a player. Everyone knows my thoughts on it."
