Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom is confident keeping hold of Sander Berge in the Championship.

The Daily Star says both Arsenal - and north London rivals Tottenham - are interested in Berge after the Blades were relegated to the Championship.

Heckingbottom said: “Sander hasn't spoken about the future. If he is here, that will be out of my hands.

“But I'm expecting him [to stay], yes. He's contracted to us, don't forget that, and what a player he would be to help us get back.

“The only thing Sander is bothered about at the moment is getting fit, that's what's driving him on.

“He's had a good 10 days or so [training] and is getting better and better. It's just a case of building him up.

“It might not be up to us, what happens, and it might not even be up to him.

“What I do know, having worked with him, is that he's a really top player and a very driven one, too.

“Don't be confused by his nice smile and personality, he wants to be the very best player he can be."
