Sheffield United owner Prince Abdullah says they'll be active in the January market.

The Blades are already being linked with Villarreal striker Ben Brereton-Diaz.

Speaking on fans' YouTube channel Blades Ramble, the Prince insisted: "We still have a chance. It's a very weird year this year. We're not out of it and if we can put a streak of good games together, win two or three games, I think we'll be in very good shape. I still believe that we have a good chance of not being relegated but I believe in the future of the club.

"I'm very optimistic about the future of the club. Not because I'm crazy, but I'm realistically, honestly optimistic about the future of the club. I think if we get relegated we will be in much better shape than the last time we got relegated. But I really still believe that we will be in the Premier League come this summer.

"As it stands right now, we will be bringing some players in January, even if we don't sell anybody.

"But say that we get a big offer for one of our players, then it will be a tough decision depending on who the player is. But of course then immediately we have to buy. Like say that we sell one of our players, we will buy maybe two or three younger good players in that position to make us stronger this season and next season.

"I really trust the people around me. I trust Chris (Wilder), I trust the people who have a say in this, and will always make the best decisions for the club."
