Manager Paul Heckingbottom insists Sheffield United do not have to make huge transfer gambles this summer.

The Blades are working hard to ensure they have a squad to compete in the Premier League.

While Heckingbottom is aware that moves must be made in the coming week, he does not think the club has to “compromise" when they make transfer moves either.

“We could get someone in," admitted Heckingbottom after their second Premier League game of the season, a loss to Nottingham Forest.

“But there comes a point when we have to do deals; we have to get them done. And there are ones there that we can get done, and I'm pushing to get those done. But it's difficult. We're not well off and it's tough but we're trying our best and we don't want to compromise.

“We want to be as strong as we can be to win games, but a part of my brief is to develop players and make money for the club. So we want players I believe in and we think can go and achieve more and we can develop. We know why we're in this situation, some things are out of our control and it's put us on the back foot."
