# Sheffield United target permanent Blackman move

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has confirmed that they will look into the possibility of signing Jamal Blackman on a permanent basis.

As reported by the [Hull Daily Mail](https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/championship-news-celtic-keeper-radar-1347582), Wilder admits that the club will have a conversation about a deal at the end of the season.

> We’re trying to get the ball rolling because we like to work medium to long term as well. Jamal will come into consideration with a big end to the season.

The Chelsea loanee has impressed in United’s return to the second division, helping them remain in contention for a play-off place.

Blackman has impressed in between the sticks for United this season, prompting calls for the club to sign him permanently.

The 24-year-old is yet to make his senior debut for Chelsea and may consider a move away from the club to kick-start his career.

After coming through the ranks at Chelsea, Blackman has reached the stage of his career where he’ll be looking for regular first-team football.

Following spells at Middlesbrough, Ostersunds, and Wycombe, he may well have found a home in Sheffield.
