According to a report from the Daily Mail, Sheffield United and Cardiff City are leading the race to sign Rotherham United midfielder Will Vaulks, having carried out several scouting missions on the 25-year-old over the past few weeks.

Vaulks joined the Millers from Falkirk in the summer of 2016, and he has gone on to make 126 appearances in all competitions for the south Yorkshire outfit.

The Englishman is a deep-lying midfielder by trade, but he can also fill in at both the centre-back and right-back positions, so that kind of versatility will undoubtedly appeal to both Sheffield United and Cardiff.

The Daily Mail claims that the Blades and the Bluebirds have been closely monitoring Vaulks’s situation at the New York Stadium, with a view to making a summer bid for the midfield ace.

His contract expires in the summer of 2020, so Rotherham might just be tempted to cash in on him at the end of this season.

The Daily Mail suggests that Sheffield United and Cardiff will face competition from an unnamed Italian side for Vaulks.

Quite where the Rotherham ace will end up next seasons, however, remains to be seen.
