Hull City and Middlesbrough among clubs linked with AFC Bournemouth's ex-Sheffield United man Daniel Jebbison

Hull City and Middlesbrough are among the clubs to have been credited with interest in AFC Bournemouth forward Daniel Jebbison.

The 22-year-old is no stranger to Yorkshire having been ushered into senior football by Sheffield United. He made 35 appearances for the Blades, scoring three goals, before being snapped up by Bournemouth in 2024.

Jebbison has since made 21 appearances for the Cherries, seeing more action away from the Vitality Stadium across loan spells at Watford and Preston North End.

Last season, under the tutelage of his former Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom, the Canada international scored six goals over the course of 40 appearances for second-tier Preston.

Hull City and Middlesbrough linked with forward

According to TEAMtalk, Hull are pushing to sign Jebbison following their promotion to the Premier League. Also said to be moving for the frontman are fellow Premier League newcomers Ipswich Town and Coventry City.

Middlesbrough, meanwhile, are said to be among the Championship clubs to have expressed interest in a loan deal. Boro have been named as admirers alongside their second-tier countreparts Birmingham City, Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers.

It has been suggested Bournemouth would prefer to loan Jebbison out rather than permanently part with a player boasting such potential.

The Cherriers are believed to be keen on managing his development carefully, suggesting there will be a thorough assessment of options before a temporary exit is signed off on.

Daniel Jebbison potential

Last year, when Jebbison sealed a loan move to Preston, Heckingbottom revealed he had “always believed” in the young marksman’s potential.

He said: “I’ve watched him play since he was a teenager and he was great to coach at Sheffield United. He‘s someone I always pushed to keep improving during our time together. I’ve always believed in his ability and his potential.

“I know how good he can be and we’re looking to get the best out of him while he’s here working with us.”
