Sheffield United are interested in Manchester City goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu.

The Sun says the Republic of Ireland stopper, 20, has had a big campaign at Portsmouth on loan and hopes to play in the Premier League to keep his career on the rise.

The Blades will try to sign him whether they go up or not while Preston North End are also keen on him.

Bazunu has started 44 games for Pompey in all competitions this season, as well as cementing his place as Ireland's No 1.

Earlier this month, Portsmouth boss Danny Cowley said the young Man City stopper is an "exceptional" talent and is heading to the top.
