Blades sell Kazim-Richards to Fenerbahce for £1.2m

Sheffield United have agreed a deal with Turkish champions Fenerbahce for striker Colin Kazim-Richards.

The Istanbul side, managed by legendary Brazil midfielder Zico, will pay £1.275million, earning the Blades a healthy profit on the £150,000 they splashed out when signing the 20-year-old from Brighton last August.
