Canadian-born Jebbison has dropped down the Bramall Lane pecking order.

The Blades are only likely to get a small fee if he goes abroad.

Everton were keen before the hitman suffered a freak injury in pre-season that has sidelined him until November.

He said: “The ceiling for him is really, really high.

“He knows and you know I won’t give people minutes away regardless of how highly I rate him.

“He’s had to earn his way into the team.

“You would not want to play against that pace and energy.”
