Former Sheffield United transfer target Chuba Akpom could be Premier League bound.

The Blades were one of many teams that were eager to secure Akpom in the summer.

However, they were priced out of the deal, with Ajax swooping in for Akpom instead.

Given his Eredivisie struggles, Akpom may be on the move very soon this winter.

The Star states that Sheffield United may put in a loan bid to secure him for the rest of the season.

His added fire power may be exactly what Paul Heckingbottom needs to keep the team in the Premier League.
