Sheffield United have snapped up young attacker Ava Baker on a season-long loan from Birmingham City. Not a bad bit of business for a Thursday afternoon.
The 20-year-old England youth international arrives with a CV that belies her age - and enough pace to make defenders very nervous indeed.
Baker came through the Leicester City academy, making her senior bow shortly after turning 16. By January 2023, she'd become the youngest player ever to find the net for the Foxes. Precocious doesn't quite cover it.
She moved to Birmingham City in the summer of 2024, spending two seasons at the club before being loaned to Ipswich Town for the second half of 2025/2026. At Portman Road, she helped the Tractor Girls cling on to their Barclays WSL2 status - no small feat.
Baker has reportedly expressed her excitement about the switch, keen to get stuck into training and link up with her new teammates at the Blades.
As WSL Full-Time reports, the deal was confirmed via an official club announcement. Sheffield United fans will be hoping Baker's knack for making history follows her to South Yorkshire.
