Sheffield United are eyeing Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster.

The Sun says Sheffield United are huge fans of the former England cap, who is starring for Watford despite their troubles this season.

And Foster, 36, could be snapped up at the end of the season if the Hornets plunge out of the top flight and have to cut costs.

The veteran stopper has emerged as the leading target for Blades, whose early-season form has already suggested they will be well away from the drop zone.

Boss Chris Wilder has been relying on Dean Henderson, on loan from Manchester United.

But the fear is the fee to take him permanently will be out of reach for them in the summer.
