Sheffield United’s Dan Jebbison is set to leave amid links to Leeds United

Sheffield United striker Daniel Jebbison is set to leave after turning down a contract offer, according to Sky Sports (live transfer blog, 30/06/24, 20/07).

Sheffield United have been snubbed by the striker and are now ready to head out the exit door for a new challenge elsewhere. HITC Sport reported this summer that he is a “top” target for fellow Championship side Leeds United.

Jebbison, 20, was limited to just one appearance for the Blades last season due to illness and injury. They were relegated from the Premier League after finishing in the bottom three along with Luton Town and Burnley and are now preparing for life back in the Football League under Chris Wilder.

In this latest update on their striker’s future at Bramall Lane by Sky Sports, he rejected the chance to stay in South Yorkshire and will now become available for nothing to other teams, including potential suitors Leeds United.

The loss of Jebbison will be a big blow for Sheffield United as they look to secure immediate promotion back to the top flight.

He has a lot of potential and would have been a useful player to keep ahead of the new campaign.

His impending departure will open the door for other clubs to approach him, including Leeds United.

The Whites were beaten in the play-off final at Wembley this year by Southampton, but Daniel Farke remains in charge at Elland Road and will be looking to strengthen his ranks.

Jebbison was born in Canada but moved to England in 2017.

Sheffield United signed him shortly afterwards and he has since made 35 appearances in all competitions for them to date, finding the net on three occasions.

He was also loaned out to Chorley and Burton Albion to gain some experience.

Jebbison will have to weigh up his options after turning down the opportunity to stay with the Blades.

He has to consider where he could get a lot of game time amid links with Leeds United.
