Sheffield United plan to hold talks with Cardiff City striker Gary Madine.
The on-loan striker has been described as a "lucky charm" in Yorkshire after helping the Blades seal promotion to the Premier League.
Chris Wilder has done a fantastic job at Bramall Lane, and Madine has proved to be a big part of that since he arrived in January.
This will be Madine's third promotion in a row after helping his parent club to the promised land last season and helping previous employers Bolton get out of League One the campaign before.
The £6million man struggled for game-time under Neil Warnock and sought a loan away from South Wales to gain minutes.
The former Sheffield Wednesday man is contracted to Cardiff until 2021, but it appears his future lies away from the Welsh capital. Wilder likes him and the Blades plan talks to sign him permanently, according to national reports.
The striker has revealed he prefers to be closer to his home in the north of England, telling the club website a few days ago: "This feels like home to me now, I'd be devastated if I had to move on from here at the end of the season, I'd love to stay for as long as the manager wants me to and hopefully that's beyond the summer.
"I knew I'd enjoy it here, that's why I jumped at the chance to come, but I wasn't thinking about the future, I just wanted to come and play games, score goals and win promotion again.
"These lads are a special bunch, working daily with this manager and his staff is something I've relished. I don't want to be disrespectful to Cardiff City, but it's a long way from home and it's never really happened for me there. I'm settled here, I'm content and happy, I've proved I play my best football when I'm happy and I couldn't be happier than I am at Sheffield United."
