The 26-year old has only 12 months left on his contract and, according to today’s Daily Star, he has told Blades manager Neil Warnock that he is committed in helping the club reach the Premiership next season.
This despite reported interest from Leeds, Liverpool, and yes, you guessed it, Chelsea.
When he finally realises that the Bramall Lane club's success last year was due mainly to ex-coach Kevin Blackwell then, no doubt, his agent will be busy looking around for a suitable club.
Since Blackwell is now ensconced at a club a few miles down the road, then his choice will become obvious!
