Brentford striker Neal Maupay remains a top target for Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder.

The Mirror says French forward Maupay,22, smashed 28 goals for the Championship Bees last season.

Now United boss Wilder is trying to add him to the Blades' squad to take on the Premier League.

Wilder has already broken the Bramall Lane club's transfer record once this week bringing in Luke Freeman from QPR.

The undisclosed deal eclipsed the 4m United paid for John Egan last summer from Brentford.

But any move for Maupay will smash that figure.

Brentford are believed to be demanding well over 15m for the forward signed from St Etienne for 1.7m in July 2017, which has cooled rival interest from Aston Villa.
