Sheffield Utd boss Wilder explains Bogle’s plans

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has discussed the club’s plans for next season.

Among other topics, Wilder dropped the clearest hint yet that Jayden Bogle will be with the club in the future.

The defender has been a consistent performer this season but is out of contract in the summer.

Asked if the 23-year-old was likely to stay, Wilder said: “Yes, we hope so. It was remarkable. I knew a lot about him when I brought him into the building, him and Max (Lowe).

“It was undoubtedly one of the club’s best deals in terms of numbers. I think it ended up being under £4m for both of them. So for us as a defender it’s great to get a player who is the top scorer in the Premier League and his overall performances this year have been outstanding. It’s (his future) something that will really take care of itself.

“His attitude around the place and his performances were first class. I said a few weeks ago, no one is following him or Ollie Arblaster. He continued his work and blocked that function. It was remarkable.”
