‘One of the best…’ – Ruben Selles makes big claim about Sheffield United player

 

SUFC – Sheffield United will be hoping that they can keep hold of the player before the end of the transfer window.

 

Sheffield United manager Ruben Selles has hailed Gustavo Hamer as “one of the best” players in the Championship, underlining the midfielder’s importance to the Blades as speculation over his future continues to swirl.

 

The 28-year-old Dutch-born playmaker has been a key figure at Bramall Lane since his arrival from Coventry City last summer. Known for his vision, passing range, and knack for producing match-winning moments, Hamer has quickly become a fan favourite — and, it appears, a player Selles sees as central to his plans.

 

Speaking ahead of United’s upcoming fixture, Selles was unequivocal in his praise.

 

> “Gustavo is one of the best players in this league — not just in terms of technical ability, but in mentality and how he drives the team forward,” the Blades boss said. “He sets the standard in training every day and shows incredible commitment to the club.”

Sheffield United’s board and recruitment team are facing a tense final stretch of the summer transfer window. Interest from rival Championship sides — and at least one Premier League outfit — has been reported, with clubs keen to test United’s resolve.

 

For Selles, however, the situation is clear: keeping Hamer is non-negotiable if the Blades are to mount a serious promotion push.

 

> “You can build a team around a player like Gustavo,” he explained. “When you have someone who can control games, create chances, and score goals from midfield, it gives you a different dimension. Replacing that is almost impossible in the short term.”

 

Last season, Hamer made a notable impact despite Sheffield United’s relegation from the Premier League, chipping in with vital goals and assists. His set-piece delivery has been another weapon for the Blades, while his defensive work rate often goes underappreciated.

 

In the early stages of this campaign, Hamer has picked up right where he left off, contributing to both phases of play and acting as a link between defence and attack. His influence is reflected in the team’s early-season form, with United unbeaten in their opening fixtures.

 

Supporters have been quick to echo Selles’ comments. Social media has been filled with calls for the club to “do whatever it takes” to keep Hamer in red and white. The midfielder himself has given little away about his intentions, focusing instead on his performances.

 

If United can fend off interest and retain Hamer’s services, they will have a player capable of shaping the Championship season. Should they lose him, Selles would face the difficult task of finding a late-window replacement of similar calibre — a challenge few managers envy.

 

As the clock ticks towards deadline day, all eyes will be on Bramall Lane. For now, Ruben Selles’ message is as clear as it is bold: Gustavo Hamer is “one of the best” — and the Blades intend to keep it that way.
