Sharp to discuss Blades future
Last updated : 21 May 2010 By Luke Thornhill
Billy Sharp will hold talks with Sheffield United next week in a bid to sort out his future after the Blades turned down a bid from Doncaster Rovers for his services.
The former Scunthorpe forward, 24, impressed while on loan with Rovers last season - scoring 15 Championship goals.
A return to the Keepmoat this summer would appear to depend on Doncaster upping their offer.
"I've just got back from my holiday, but I've heard Donny's offer was turned down," said Sharp.
"I'll speak to Sheffield United and we'll take it from there. I know they wanted a bit more than was offered, but until I've spoken to them I'm not certain what is happening.
"I spoke to the chairman at Doncaster and he told me he would do his best to get me there. I've not heard anything from Leeds. I heard about the rumours linking me with them in January but I wanted to stay at Doncaster and finish what I had started. But now I'm not sure what will happen."
