United secure Mendez-Laing on loan deal till January

Sheffield United have brought in another new addition on the eve of their League One opener with the loan signing of Wolves winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing. The 19-year-old looked set to join Peterborough on a permanent deal last month having helped Posh win promotion to the Championship while on loan there for the whole of last season. But the move fell through and Blades boss Danny Wilson has now stepped in to secure his services until 3rd January. "He is just what we need right now," he told the club's official website. "Nathaniel is strong, fast and will be a good addition to our squad as we look to make a powerful start." Mendez-Laing , who is yet to make a first-team appearance for Wolves, is set to go straight into the squad for Saturday's big kick-off away to Oldham.
