Ryan One's Imps Future in Doubt
Lincoln City's hopes of re-signing Ryan One from Sheffield United have been dealt a blow after the Blades reportedly rejected a loan-to-buy bid from Rangers.
Why it Matters for Lincoln City
The 20-year-old forward has been a key player for the Imps, scoring five goals across 16 appearances last season. His departure would be a significant loss for the team.
What Comes Next?
The talks between Sheffield United and Rangers are ongoing, but it remains to be seen whether the Blades will reconsider their decision. One's future at Lincoln City is now uncertain.
Ryan One has been on the books at Bramall Lane since 2023, when he was prised from Hamilton Academical in his native Scotland. He is well thought of in South Yorkshire and is back in Chris Wilder's ranks after a productive loan spell at Lincoln City.
The loss of One would be a bitter blow for the Blades, who have already seen prized midfielder Gustavo Hamer depart for Coventry City and tricky winger Andre Brooks' move to Norwich City. One may have spent time out on loan last season but appears poised to play a prominent role in the Championship this season.
When One penned fresh terms at Bramall Lane in 2024, the club's academy manager Derek Geary described him as a player capable of reaching the "highest level". He said: "We are delighted Ryan has committed to a long-term deal with us. He's had a lot of good development over the last 10 months and I credit Mickey Collins, Danny Cadamarteri and the coaching staff for that. "He's still very young but has all the potential to go to the highest level. His attitude, character and potential is very much a Sheffield United player and we are delighted to have him."
