Highly-rated Sheffield United striker Will Osula is on Bristol Rovers’ longlist for the summer transfer window, Bristol Live understands, with the Norwegian teenager having struck a hat-trick against Bristol City Under-21s this week.
Osula is one of the highest-rated prospects in the Blades academy and has just completed a season on loan at Derby County in League One where he scored two goals in 16 games, just three as a starter, before returning to Bramall Lane.
He was part of the Blades side that thrashed City’s youngsters 4-0 on Monday to secure their place in the Professional Development League 2 final against Millwall. The 19-year-old showed outstanding pace and finishing prowess against the Robins centre-back pairing of Joe Low and Duncan Idehen, both having made senior appearances for City and time on loan in League Two.
