Sheffield United are in talks with veteran goalkeeper Jed Steer.

Steer is a free agent after coming off contract at Aston Villa at the end of last season.

The Blades are in need for keeper cover after third-choice stopper Jordan Amissah suffered an injury in an U21 game last week.

The Sun's Alan Nixon is reporting talks are underway between the Blades and Steer's agents.

It's suggested a deal is close to being struck.
