Sky Bet Championship club Sheffield United have expressed keen interest in signing Nigerian midfielder Frank Onyeka.

The Championship side have become the latest club to enter the race for the Brentford midfielder’s signature.

Sheffield United are exploring options to bolster their midfield in the second half of the season.

According to the Daily Mail, the club have officially enquired about the player’s availability from the Premier League side.

Onyeka has struggled to secure regular playing time under Keith Andrews.

Brentford are reportedly willing to consider a loan move for the 28-year-old, with an option to buy at the end of the season.
