According to 90min, Arsenal, Tottenham and Everton are monitoring Sheffield United wonderkid Daniel Jebbison.

The 17-year-old is also being watched by Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

Jebbison shone for Sheffield United’s Under-18 side in the FA Youth Cup this season, scoring six goal in six games while also grabbing one assist.

The teenager clearly impressed those at Bramall Lane, as he was handed his Premier League debut in last week’s 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.

Jebbison played 25 minutes of the disappointing loss.

Sheffield United’s No.38 has also earned one cap for England’s Under-18 side.

90min state that the Blades are desperate to tie their homegrown wonderkid down to a new contract.

So, what type of player is Jebbison?

Well, for one, he’s an absolute powerhouse for his age.

Jebbison stands at 6ft 3in, which is huge for a 17-year-old.

His boss, Paul Heckingbottom, said that he is a forward who has some ‘great attributes’ when speaking to the BBC after the 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace.

The likes of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund don’t just scout anybody, so the Blades have a real gem on their hands.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Jebbison.

If Heckingbottom gives him some more Premier League minutes before the season is up, perhaps he will stay and help Sheffield United back into the top-flight as a regular starter in the Championship.

At his age, frequent game time is pivotal, so Jebbison must make a choice which won’t do any harm to his development.

Whatever happens, you can’t deny that there’s a real gem at Bramall Lane.
