Sheffield United told to reject ‘£10m’ Jebbison bid after Everton update – Kenny
Sheffield United must resist the urge to cash in on Daniel Jebbison if an offer arrives from Everton this summer.
So says Blades icon Paddy Kenny, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the teenage striker who is being linked with a Brammall Lane exit.
The Liverpool Echo reported on 23 August that the Toffees are interested in signing the 18-year-old who scored on his full debut at Goodison last term.
Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol tweeted the same day that United value Jebbison, who is under contract until 2023, at over £5million.
But Kenny insists that the Blades should keep hold of the rising star even if a bid of £10m materialises.
He told Football Insider correspondent Adam Williams: “They seem to be wanting to sell the players at the moment and get money in, which I don’t get.
“They did this with Billy Sharp years ago. They sold him for next to nothing and then ended up buying him back again.
“He’s one for the future. For £5m or £10m, why not keep him and send him out loan? He could be worth much more than that in the future.
“Everton are interested for a reason. Financially, if they can keep him then I think they should do.
“If he isn’t going to play a big role in the first team then send him out on loan. If you are going to move him on, then you need a good sell-on clause.”
