is one of the clubs interested in Viktor Johansson, who is likely to leave Rotherham United after their relegation to League One. However, Sheffield United’s pursuit of Johansson has hit a snag as they are aiming for higher-profile signings. Sunderland is reportedly demanding more than the £8m offered by Sheffield United, although this may be their best offer. Premier League clubs Liverpool and Wolves are also monitoring Johansson’s situation.
