Sheffield United boss Bryan Robson is expected to sell Phil Jagielka to Everton this week.

With the Blades' Premiership status in limbo, Robson needs to raise cash to push through his transfer plans, who said: "It's incredible that there still hasn't been a decision. As manager, I have to work as if we play in the league we're currently in, the Championship."

United had wanted to keep hold of the defender in case they stay in the Premiership but, as that looks unlikely, Everton need to raise their bid to trigger a £4 million get-out clause in Jagielka's contract.

So far, Everton have offered £2.5m plus Gary Naysmith, but Sheffield United value Naysmith at only £500,000.
