Sheffield United chairman Prince Abdullah admits rejecting an offer from Everton for Daniel Jebbison.

A Premier League history-maker after becoming the youngest player to score on his full debut since the competition was formed in 1992, ironically against Everton at Goodison Park, Jebbison is highly-rated by England and the country of his birth, Canada.

“We were in desperate need to sell some players to cover the deficit [of relegation last season] but we held on to our best players," the Prince told the Sheffield Star.

“We got an offer from Everton for Jebbison but refused to sell him because we think he will be the future of the club. And (Jon) Egan, we said he wasn't for sale early in the window.

“But you have to pick where you can sell and I think we're in better shape. Are we out of the woods? No, but I think we've done all that we can."

Jebbison eventually left on deadline day on-loan to Burton Albion.
