West Ham want to sign Sheffield United youngster Daniel Jebbison
West Ham are one of a number of clubs who want to sign Sheffield United prospect Daniel Jebbison, according to TEAMTalk.
The 18-year-old is currently on loan at League One side Burton Albion, where he has scored six goals in 16 appearances this season.
He has previously been linked by TEAMTalk with a move to Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund.
The same outlet are now claiming that Premier League clubs West Ham, Liverpool, Everton and Brighton have all registered their interest too.
Jebbison made his Premier League debut for Sheffield United last season and scored the winner in a 1-0 victory over Everton in May.
Big future
Jebbison clearly has plenty of potential and if you are linked with Barcelona then you know you must be doing something right.
Despite being just 18, the striker has already made great strides in his career. In December 2020 he was out on loan at National League North side Chorley and five months later he was scoring in the Premier League.
It was perhaps a surprise to see him drop to League One this season when there was loan interest from the Championship, but he has continued his development at Burton where manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has said he will have “a big future in the game”.
It seems pretty unlikely that Jebbison would be able to come straight into West Ham’s squad and provide serious competition for Michail Antonio, but he would be a big signing if David Moyes wants to look towards the future.
90min reported in August that Sheffield United would be willing to sell the England Under-18 international, but the Blades have changed manager since then with Paul Heckingbottom now in charge.
In other West Ham news, the Hammers are one of a number of teams chasing this £30m-rated striker.
