CHRIS WILDER is looking to add whizkid Eberechi Eze to his Sheffield United frontline.
The Blades will have to come up with around £12million for the 21-year-old QPR forward, who has been checked out by several major Prem clubs.

Wilder needs another striker and his spies think Eze fits the bill. The Blades have done well in signing hungry stars from the second-tier, more in their price range.
Eze appeals to them because he could have a huge sell-on value.
He is cheaper than another target, Ollie Watkins at Brentford.
Spurs and Southampton have been admiring Eze too but United chief Wilder wants his money men to move in quickly for a player they can realistically land.
If Wilder snaps up Eze, it may mean a premature end to Ravel Morrison’s Bramall Lane stay.
The ex-Manchester United babe has been at the club for months but is yet to crack the first-team squad.
Morrison, 26, could be loaned out or even released, with several Championship clubs interested.
Blades also need cover at the back with free agent Jack Rodwell, 28, set to come in if he proves his fitness. That deal would suit their budget.
