Former professional footballer Steve Howey believes that Daniel Jebbison possibly could make a move to Sunderland late in the transfer window.

The Northern Echo reported that Sunderland were keen on a loan move for the Sheffield United forward, but it would rely on Will Grigg being moved on and also getting the Blades to lower their financial demands.

Sky Sports' Kaveh Solhekol also posted on Twitter that three Premier League clubs were interested in signing the striker permanently, with Everton named as one of those clubs.

The 18-year-old featured for the Sheffield United first team on four occasions last season, scoring one goal while he also scored four goals in four games in the FA Youth Cup.

This season, Jebbison has only featured for the Blades in their Carabao Cup meeting with Carlisle United, but Steve Howey believes that he could possibly make a move to the Stadium of Light late on in the transfer window.

Howey exclusively told the Transfer Tavern: “Again, it’s one of these where, will it just get over the line kind of the last day of the transfer window? Possibly. I don’t think it’s great for the player when this kind of thing goes on as well. You’d rather think, well, where am I? Am I stopping? Am I going? What’s happening? 

“It kind of unsettles him, it unsettles his family, they don’t know if they’re going in that house or tomorrow am I moving somewhere completely different in the country.

"I think all he has to think about is just concentrating on his football and he’s only got a week left to actually put his mind at rest and he knows exactly where he’s going.”
