Emmanuel Longelo linked with Sheffield United move from Motherwell

Emmanuel Longelo, the England and DR Congo left-back at Motherwell, has been linked with a move to Championship club Sheffield United.

The 25-year-old has been a regular for Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership this season, starting all 13 of the club’s league matches and providing one assist. He has also made six appearances in Conference League qualifying, scoring once and registering one assist.

Longelo joined Motherwell from Birmingham on 10 July 2025 in a transfer reportedly worth €150,000. His move to Scotland followed a loan spell at Cambridge United during the 2024-25 campaign, where he had been temporarily released by Birmingham.

The defender developed at West Ham before joining Birmingham permanently in January 2023. He has since established himself at left-back for Motherwell and is now being linked with a return to English football through a potential move to Sheffield United.

Longelo’s current market value is listed at €1.5m, while his contract with Motherwell runs until 31 May 2027. No transfer fee or agreement has been reported for the proposed move, and the link remains a rumour.
