Sheff Utd sign Ipswich defender Clarke
Sheffield United have signed Ipswich Town defender Harry Clarke on loan until the end of the season.
The 23-year-old won promotion to the Premier League with Ipswich last season and has made seven top-flight appearances for them this campaign.
He is the fourth player to join the Blades, who are second in the Championship, this month after midfielder Hamza Choudhury and forwards Ben Brereton Diaz and Tom Cannon.
"Where the boys are here, going for promotion, it was a no-brainer really," he told the club website.
"It's a tough league; anyone can beat anyone on their day. I know what it took last year so hopefully I can bring that experience.
"I am young but I've been there, so hopefully we can achieve something this year."
Clarke started his career at Arsenal and had loan spells with Oldham, Ross County, Hibernian and Stoke before joining his hometown team Ipswich in January 2023.
He helped Ipswich finish second in League One that season and was part of the squad that secured back-to-back promotions the following campaign as they finished second in the Championship.

Inter Milan Make Man United Flop The Top Target In Attack For Chivu
Inter Milan Make Man United Flop The Top Target In Attack For Chivu Inter Milan have made Man United striker Rasmus Hojlund their top target in attack with the arrival of Cristian Chivu as coach. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Inter Milan are getting ready to reinforce their squad for new coach Cristian Chivu. Having decided upon the Romanian to replace Simone Inzaghi, the Nerazzurri are getting ready to make a big attacking signing. With Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa gone as their contracts expire, and the future of Mehdi Taremi uncertain, Inter must bolster the attacking depth. And it has always been clear what the Nerazzurri's strategy will be. They will focus on a younger attacking signing.

Advertisement The 22-year-old may have endured a couple of underwhelming campaigns at Old Trafford. However, Inter still back Hojlund to make a big impact in Serie A considering his time at Atalanta. Meanwhile, the Dane's age and wages would make him an ideal profile for Inter's transfer strategy under Oaktree Capital. Therefore, the Nerazzurri are ready to start negotiations with Manchester United. They are aiming to sign Hojlund on an initial loan deal containing a purchase option or obligation.

Decades of N.B.A. Champions, Framed for Eternity
The gargantuan Shaquille O'Neal once caused Nathaniel Butler's camera to malfunction when he doused Butler, the N.B.A.'s lead photographer, with Champagne during a championship celebration. Young athletes including Caitlin Clark have mimicked one of Butler's most famous photos, of Kobe Bryant embracing a trophy in the shower. Since joining the N.B.A. as an intern, Butler has documented many of the league's most memorable scenes and cultivated relationships with generations of star players. 'He puts the time and the work in,' said Jayson Tatum, a 27-year-old Boston Celtics forward. 'He's been doing this longer than some of us have been alive, and he's captured some of the most iconic photos that we all grew up seeing in magazines and online.' Butler began his photography career at St. John's University in Queens in the 1980s, where he captured basketball games for the student newspaper. As he prepared for his 39th N.B.A. finals, he spoke with The New York Times about some of his favorite photos, the process behind them and how technology has changed his job.
