Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom has reaffirmed hopes of Daniel Jebbison to a new deal.

The young attacker is the best prospect seen at Bramall Lane in years.

“We're just talking," Heckingbottom said of Jebbison's current contract situation. “Steve [Bettis, chief executive] is talking with Jebbo's agent and his family.

"We brought him through, him and Will [Osula, fellow striker]. I had them in my first-ever training session, when they were 15.

“You've all heard me say it before, having patience with the young boys. Going back to Jebbo at 17 in the Premier League. Him and Will are the same age and they've been about a bit, but my message to them and the other young boys is the same. They'll get an opportunity now but I'm looking at Will and Jebbo and saying: 'Come on, it's your turn now.'"
