Merseyside rivals Liverpool and Everton eye Sheffield United defender Kyron Gordon, with 18-year-old close to breaking into Chris Wilder's squad

Everton and Liverpool are among the clubs monitoring Sheffield United's talented young centre back Kyron Gordon.

The 18-year-old has been on the fringe of Chris Wilder's first team this season, and was named on the bench for the Blades' third-round FA Cup victory against Bristol Rovers earlier this month.

In July 2019, Gordon signed a two-year professional deal which came into effect once his scholarship ended in the summer.

'I wanted to bring Kyron, because he's been involved with the first team a fair bit since pre-season, he's done well and I thought we might have needed the type of qualities he brings,' Wilder said after their 3-2 victory against Bristol Rovers.
