Sheffield United in for Phil Bardsley

Last updated : 06 April 2010 By Daryl Baker

A new rumour doing the rounds of Sunderland right back Phil Bardsley is off to Sheffield United in the summer due to losing his place as first choice right back to on loan Alan Hutton.

Steve Bruce has made public his desire to sign Alan Hutton permanently after an impressive run of form in Sunderland's first team.  But it seems that the Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is up to his dodgy dealings again using the newspapers to link Hutton to Newcastle United, in a hope to push up the price on Hutton.

Bardsley is said to be unhappy with a place on the bench and seeks a move away from the SOL to somewhere he's like to be the first choice right back.
