Sheffield United have signed Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury on loan until the end of the season.

Choudhury, 27, has made 91 league appearances for the Foxes and worked under Blades boss Chris Wilder during a season-long loan spell with Watford in 2022-23.

The former England Under-21 international could make his debut for the promotion chasers in Saturday's trip to Derby County.

"It has been going on for a couple of weeks but I'm happy to be here and ready to get going," Choudhury told the club website.

"I've seen the position that the team has put itself in and I want to come here and help.

"I worked with the gaffer for a couple of months at Watford, it was short, but I enjoyed it, so when he called there was only one answer from me."

Choudhury is the third player to join the Blades this month after the loan signing of Southampton forward Ben Brereton Diaz and the permanent deal for Leicester striker Tom Cannon.
