KV Mechelen goalkeeper Michael Verrips has gone AWOL amid interest from Sheffield United.

Verrips, reports HLN, has gone missing from training as the Blades move for the shot-stopper.

An approach to KVM is yet to be made, though it's claimed contact is ongoing with the player's camp.

KVM coach Wouter Vrancken said, I don't really know what's going on either. This completely surprised me. We had conversations in which he indicated that he wanted to stay. It's a strange situation. But I want to hear Michael first before I draw my conclusions. Look, I know him well. This is not for him.

It must have been whispered to him by someone. I don't understand why he would do such a thing. You may want to arrange a transfer. But is this the right way? I am curious."
