Ryan Flynn says Sheffield United teammate Harry Maguire deserves to be attracting interest from Premier League clubs.
Liverpool and Chelsea are tracking the young defender.
Flynn told Sky Sports: "Being linked to those clubs is just reward for how he's been playing.
"He showed how good he is when he played against Christian Benteke at Villa Park, and he continues to do that week-in week-out. I'm not surprised by the speculation."
