Sheffield United and other interested clubs should be going after Irish youngster Sam Curtis in recent months.

The 17-year-old is being tipped to reach the very top of the sport due to his impressive talent.

Curtis played his part in St Patrick's Athletic winning the FAI Cup final on Sunday.

St Pat's assistant coach Jon Daly believes any interest in Curtis is justified.

“He's fantastic and a great talent," Daly said, per The Star.

"He has an aggression in his game that you don't really see in younger players.

“Quality-wise, he's been very good. He's still learning the game and we're hoping he keeps improving."
