Newcastle United and Sunderland ‘jostling’ for Sheffield United’s Sydie Peck as West Ham ‘keep close eye’

A raft of clubs - including Newcastle United - have been linked with Sheffield United star Sydie Peck

Sheffield United star Sydie Peck is reportedly drawing interest from Premier League clubs such as Newcastle United and Sunderland.

The 22-year-old arrived at Bramall Lane in 2021, making the move to South Yorkshire from Arsenal’s academy.

He has gone from strength to strength on the red side of the Steel City, establishing himself as a key figure in Chris Wilder’s squad and making an impact on the youth international scene with England.

The all-action midfielder has previously been linked with top-tier clubs and talk of interest from England’s top flight has now resurfaced.

Sydie Peck linked with Premier League clubs

According to TEAMtalk, bitter rivals Newcastle and Sunderland are both vying for Peck’s signature. Brentford, Crystal Palace and AFC Bournemouth are also said to be keeping tabs, while Championship giants West Ham United are thought to be keeping a close eye.

Sheffield United lost key figures such as Gustavo Hamer and Andre Brooks in the summer, therefore it would be a hammer blow to see Peck seek pastures new,

However, given the speed at which Peck is developing, it may prove tough to deny him a Premier League opportunity.

Sydie Peck developing goalscoring touch

The midfielder turned heads earlier this month, netting a hat-trick in Sheffield United’s 3-2 victory away at Preston North End.

After the treble, Peck said: “I'm trying to up my conversion rate. I've been getting in positions and taking a few shots and now it's just about scoring the chances. It's huge for the team as well.

“It's something that I've been working on in training and then trying to relay that on the pitch.

“I know that I can score goals, it's always been in me. It's just about showing that and I've got more to my game that probably no-one's seen yet and the best of me is still yet to come. And like the gaffer said, I should have had four or five. It's a good habit to get into.”
