Rabbi Matondo left Rangers for SK Brann in March, but he could already be heading away from Norway during the current transfer window, with Sheffield United considering a move for the winger.
Matondo joined Brann with hopes of rebuilding his form after struggling for consistency in Scotland. The Norwegian league was viewed as an opportunity for him to regain confidence and show his ability, but his time at the club has not developed as expected so far.
Sheffield United monitor Matondo
The winger has featured in only three Eliteserien matches for Brann and has not managed to establish himself as a regular starter. His limited involvement has been surprising, especially considering the expectations surrounding his arrival.
According to Star Sports, Sheffield United are considering approaching Matondo during this transfer window. The report states that the English club have followed his progress since his time at Rangers and believes he could return to his best level if he joins their squad.
A move back to England could represent an opportunity for Matondo to restart his career in a familiar environment. The winger appears to have struggled to settle in Norway, and returning to English football may provide the platform he needs to rediscover his confidence and form.
Brann is open to a possible departure
Matondo will likely be keen to explore the possibility of joining Sheffield United if an agreement can be reached. The opportunity to move to another club where he could receive more regular playing time may appeal to the player.
Brann have not received the level of contribution they would have hoped for since signing him, although the club could have been prepared to give him more time to adapt. However, they are unlikely to reject an approach if it benefits all parties involved.
If Sheffield United decide to formalise their interest, Matondo could have the chance to continue his career elsewhere, while Brann would be able to move forward after a short spell that has not produced the impact they expected.
