Sheffield United has agreed to sign Southampton winger Nathan Dyer on loan with striker Jordan Robertson moving in the opposite direction.
The two clubs have agreed to keep the players until Christmas with an option to buy in January.
Blades boss Kevin Blackwell told BBC Radio Sheffield that “Nathan has blistering pace which is what we need.”
The Southampton winger has been out of favour with both manager Jan Poortvliet and the fans, one of whom, George Causer (avid supporter and season ticket holder) has been recorded of saying he “can’t wait to get shot of him”. Ever since he and team mate Bradley Wright-Phillips were convicted of stealing three mobile phones and £145 in cash from Bar Bluu Club in Southsea and being sentenced to 60 hours community service, he has made just one start for the Saints and will be relishing the opportunity of a fresh beginning.
Kevin Blackwell gave a slight hint that the Dyer deal could be permanent and Nathan himself could also be thinking the same as he is not comfortable with the booing he receives when he plays.
