Villa, West Ham eyeing Sheffield Utd midfielder Oliver Arblaster

Sheffield United midfielder Oliver Arblaster is attracting interest from Premier League rivals.

The youngster has been a bright point in the Blades' relegation season.

The Telegraph says Aston Villa and West Ham United are watching Arblaster's situation ahead of the summer market.

Blades boss Chris Wilder has hopes of keeping the midfielder in the Championship: "We understand the fabric of the game and the way the game moves, but certainly, for us it's 'career here' and he understands that as well.

"He will understand it. He's a smart boy. He'll get his head down and knows he has to play well to stay in the team as well. He won't take any liberties. He's a humble boy and he's starting his career. Hopefully it's a long and successful one at Sheffield United."
