Sheffield United are set to offer Elgin City hot shot, Craig Gunn a trial at the club with a view to offering him a pro contract.
The young striker only joined Elgin in the summer from Peterhead but the Scottish Third Division side won't stand in his way if he gets the chance to move on. Sources in Scotland have confirmed that United dispatched a scout to Elgin before Christmas and the reports sent back have been impressive. Blackwell is expected to offer Gunn the chance to come on down for a few days.
If a deal is offered the fee will only be a nominal one and the risk of this signing is low. There is a chance United could wrap the signing up and then allow him to stay at Elgin for the rest of the season before calling him back to start a fresh in the summer and give him full pre-season to adjust to life in the English League.
