The Queens Park Rangers winger is said to be the subject of interest from Sheffield United.

The Peterborough United owner, Darragh MacAnthony, believes Queens Park Rangers should ask for up to £9 million for the rumoured Sheffield United target, Luke Freeman.

Sky Sports reported on Monday that Freeman is close to leaving QPR to join Sheffield United in a deal worth ‘more than £3 million’.

But West London Sport later claimed that the Blades have in fact had an offer rejected by their Championship rivals, and were told it will take ‘significantly more than £4 million’ to get their man.

MacAnthony knows all about Freeman, who has appeared against his Peterborough side for Stevenage, Bristol City and QPR down the years.

And when asked on Twitter how much the 27-year-old should cost after a season in which he scored or made 17 goals in 48 outings, the Irishman replied:

According to MacAnthony that’s just less than the valuation Blackburn should set for another rumoured Sheffield United target, Bradley Dack.

When asked, the Posh chief responded:

Freeman, who recently signed a new deal until 2021, could become the Blades’ first summer signing.
