Norwich City and Derby County have joined the race to sign AFC Bournemouth attacker Daniel Jebbison.
According to HITC, numerous Championship sides have expressed interest in the forward, who left Sheffield United earlier this summer.
Jebbison missed most of last season due to injury, which hampered his development as an attacker.
Regardless, the Blades wanted to keep him because he is such a potential youngster.
However, the midfielder declined the option to extend his spell at Bramall Lane and instead moved to the Vitality Stadium, where he joined the Cherries.
However, he may not be in Andoni Iraola’s short-term plans, therefore a loan move to another club could benefit Jebbison in the 2024/25 season.
However, it is uncertain where he will end up, since the player is expected to garner interest from both domestic and international clubs between now and the end of the summer transfer season.
According to HITC, Jebbison has been pursued by a number of English second-tier clubs, but he will not be joining Sunderland.
Daniel Jebbison attracting plenty of Championship interest
Norwich are believed to be interested in Jebbison, as are Derby, Hull City, Portsmouth, Stoke City, and West Bromwich Albion.
The Canaries want extra firepower, as Gabriel Sara has left the club and Adam Idah appears to be on his way out of Carrow Road. Jonathan Rowe’s future is also uncertain at this time, so hiring an attacker would not be a bad idea.
Hull are another team in severe need of fresh firepower, with Jaden Philogene recently leaving with the likes of Aaron Connolly, Billy Sharp, Noah Ohio, Anass Zaroury, and Fabio Carvalho also leaving the MKM Stadium this season.
Meanwhile, Derby and Pompey will want to ensure that their squads are as strong as possible following their return to the second tier.
Brandon Thomas-Asante’s departure could be a significant loss for West Brom, despite Josh Maja scoring a hat-trick on the season’s first day.
More depth is required up top, and Carlos Corberan could look to sign the promising Jebbison, who will only improve given his age.
Daniel Jebbison needs game time
He may still be young, but at 21, the forward needs to start playing consistently if he wants to reach his full potential.
However, his scoring record with the Blades was not very impressive, and some clubs may be hesitant to put him in the starting lineup right away.
However, Jebbison must hunt for a team that is prepared to give him plenty of playing time, because it is the only way he will be able to develop quickly.
He could improve his skills in training, but testing himself in a game setting is as vital, and it would be intriguing to see where he goes if he leaves the Vitality Stadium this summer.
There’s certainly no shortage of interest in his signature.
