Must read

Ismaila Coulibaly has left Sheffield United after making only nine appearances in more than four years at Bramall Lane.

The midfielder, who has one cap for Mali, has joined Austrian Bundesliga side LASK for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old had one minute of Championship action for the Blades, off the bench in a 3-0 home win over Swansea City in February 2023.

He made five FA Cup appearances as the Blades reached the semi-finals in 2023, starting in the fourth-round replay win over Wrexham and the 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in round five.

His only two appearances this season came in the EFL Cup in August in a win over Wrexham and a defeat by Barnsley. His other Blades game was in the EFL Cup defeat against Lincoln City 12 months earlier.

Coulibaly has also had loan spells with Beerschot in Belgium and AIK Solna in Sweden.
