Sheffield United could lose wonderkid striker on free transfer with ace yet to agree new contract

SHEFFIELD UNITED are sweating about Daniel Jebbison signing a new contract.

The England Under-20 striker, 20, is in the last year of his deal and could be off if he cannot agree terms.

Canadian-born Jebbison has dropped down the Bramall Lane pecking order.

The Blades are only likely to get a small fee if he goes abroad.

Everton were keen before the hitman suffered a freak injury in pre-season that has sidelined him until November.

Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom has previously suggested that Jebbison has plenty of potential to become a top striker.

He said: “The ceiling for him is really, really high.

“He knows and you know I won’t give people minutes away regardless of how highly I rate him.

“He’s had to earn his way into the team.

“You would not want to play against that pace and energy.”

Last season, the striker featured 16 times in the Championship, scoring one goal and assisting two more.

He has previously made his mark in the Premier League, scoring in a 1-0 win over the Toffees for the Blades in 2021.
