Sheffield United are ready to close a deal for Stoke City goalkeeper Steve Simonsen.
Blades boss Kevin Blackwell beat Wigan Athletic for Swansea City midfielder Leon Britton yesterday.
He has already signed striker Daniel Bogdanovic and defender Johannes Ertl on frees from Barnsley and Crystal Palace.
Blackwell now hopes to complete the £750,000 capture of Stoke keeper Simonsen, 31, within the next 48 hours.
