Blades 'to steal Rovers target'

Doncaster Rovers, 14:01, June 29, 2009

Sheffield United are tipped to beat Coventry, Doncaster, Newcastle and Barnsley to the signing of Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford.

Reports claims the Blades will do a £5m deal which will include £2m-rated hitman Billy Sharp moving to Elland Road as part of the deal.

Beckford has been transfer listed by the Whites after turning down a new deal with the West Yorkshire outfit and it appears Kevin Blackwell's offer would represent good business for the 25-year-old Londoner.

The Sky Blues, Rovers, Magpies and Tykes have all been linked but the Blades are flush with cash following the award of compensation for the Carlos Tevez affair.
