Sheffield United 'keeping tabs on in-form Hibernian striker Kevin Nisbet' as Chris Wilder looks for January reinforcements in desperate bid to beat the drop

Sheffield United have reportedly entered the race for Hibernian hitman Kevin Nisbet as Chris Wilder seeks added firepower to lead their safety bid.

The Blades lie well adrift at the bottom of the Premier League table, 11 points behind Burnley in 17th having taken just two points from their first 15 games.

And with just eight goals scored so far in the campaign, Wilder has identified Nisbet as his main target in the January window, according to The Sun.
