SHEFFIELD UNITED are ready to pay a stunning £6million for Ashley Phillips — if Tottenham change their minds.
The Blades want the centre-half, 20, who spent the season on loan at Stoke.
Ashley Phillips is wanted by Sheffield UnitedShutterstock Editorial
But they have been rebuffed as new Spurs boss Thomas Frank wants to include him.
Phillips joined Tottenham from Blackburn for a fee of £2m in 2023 after just 14 senior appearances.
But the England Under-20s star is yet to play for Tottenham’s first-team.
He went on loan to Plymouth Argyle for the 2023/24 season and won their Young Player of the Year award.
And last season he caught the eye with Stoke and helped them avoid relegation by two points.
Phillips is of interest to Sheffield United, who SunSport exclusively revealed have axed top scouts in favour of an Anglo-American AI talent spotting company to find new players.
Tottenham’s £6m valuation of Phillips is similar to the price tag they have put on midfield magician Alfie Devine, 20.
Spurs are yet to decide on his future after his spell on loan at Westerlo in Belgium.

Meanwhile, Sheffield United are hope to bring back midfielder Tommy Doyle from Wolves on loan but face a fight with Birmingham.
Ruben Selles is now in charge at Bramall Lane after Chris Wilder was sacked.

Sir Ian McKellen, known for playing Gandalf in the hit movie series, lent his signature deep voice and vocal talents to the Scissor Sisters setlist.
During the track Invisible Light, the 86-year-old could be heard reading out the words as the electro pop group – led by frontman Jake Shears – danced around.
After his surprise stint on stage, the group went on to delight Glastonbury-goers with their signature tracks including Take Your Mama.
As he returned to his spot in the crowd, Sir Ian was met with chants of his name.
The X-Men actor looked extremely bashful before holding his head in his hands and choking back emotion.
In the sweet clip posted to BBC Radio 2’s Instagram account, a caption read: “Sir Ian McKellen getting some well deserved Glasto love!”
A fan then wrote: “Whyyyyyyy is he ALWAYS not sure why we love him love him. He is so humble. And supremely funny.”
The highly anticipated sets were pulled off air due to technical blunders throughout the day, leaving many fans staring at error messages on their screens.
The outage hit certain devices and platforms, sparking a wave of complaints online as users demanded answers.
For those watching on iPlayer, the main Saturday feed also suffered huge technical difficulties.
Those wanting to watch Scissor Sisters were greeted with an apology message emblazoned on the screen.

Thai Lotto Bangkok Special Winning Number Vip Tips 01-07-2025 by Viplottotips.com is a prediction or tip offering a guaranteed winning number for the upcoming lottery draw. It is designed to help players by providing a single number that is believed to have the highest chance of being drawn on 1st July 2025. Keep in mind, …
Good sources include meat, fish, eggs, tofu, beans and dairy, to name just a few.
But when we don’t have time to whip up a meal or we need an alternative to sugar-laden biscuits and fatty crisps, many of us turn to protein bars.
GettyProtein bars have become so popular that even brands known for their chocolate make them – but the nutrition on the label reveals the ones worth trying[/caption]
Protein bars offer a convenient, on-the-go option to easily increase your intake. But are they as healthy as we think?
As a personal trainer, health writer and general wellness and fitness fanatic, I decided to pay several to the test, and ask experts for their verdict too.
BodyMeBodyMe Turmeric Lemon Protein bar[/caption]
Darren FletcherLucy called the BodyMe protein bar a “definite winner”[/caption]
A VEGAN-friendly bar with 16g of plant protein from a mix of peas, brown rice and hemp, registered nutritionist Claire Hitchen says that this “fits the bill for a more whole food-based option”.
“Hemp has a higher fibre content and is also a source of omega-3 fatty acids,” she adds.
“This bar doesn’t contain artificial sweeteners or other additives and the ingredients are all organic too, which can help to reduce your exposure to pesticides and other chemicals.”
Taste test: This flavour makes a change from the usual peanut butter and chocolate protein bars that I’m used to.
The strong lemon flavour makes it taste a little like lemon meringue pie, however it’s not overly sweet.
I like how fudgy it is, without tearing my teeth out with every bite. A definite winner!
Protein Ball Co High Protein Peanut Butter Energy Balls: 5/5
Protein Ball CoProtein Ball Co High Protein Peanut Butter Energy Balls[/caption]
“MADE largely with dates and nuts, this is a whole food-based product that provides better nutritional value than most other ‘protein’ bars and snacks,” says Claire.
“The 10g of protein per pack comes from the nuts, as well as whey protein isolate, which is considered to be a high-quality protein that’s absorbed well and can help with muscle gain and cardiometabolic health.”
It has the benefit of added vitamin D3, which supports bone health, mood regulation and immune function, and it’s free from artificial sweeteners.
Taste test: Like sweet, nutty, chewy balls of goodness, I love the nut lumps in these balls.
They’re super squidgy and delicious, and pretty healthy!
Holland & Barrett Triactive Pistachio and Cranberry bar: 4.5/5
Holland & BarrettHolland & Barrett Triactive Pistachio and Cranberry bar[/caption]
PRIMARILY made from peanuts, pistachios, dried cranberries and oats, this bar contains 8.7g of protein, which is slightly less than many others out there.
However, it does also contain 6.7g of fibre, which Claire says is a “plus” for this type of product.
“This has added B vitamins and magnesium which is a positive, but the type of magnesium included is magnesium oxide, which is less easily used by the body and may act as a laxative,” adds Claire.
Taste test: This is very tough on the jaw but tastes delicious. You wouldn’t think it was a protein bar.
The pistachio lumps are great and I felt considerably full after eating a whole bar.
4. The Fast 800 Dark Chocolate Raspberry Protein Bar: 4/5
The Fast 800The Fast 800 Dark Chocolate Raspberry Protein Bar[/caption]
EACH bar contains 14g of protein, coming from vegan sources like pea and rice.
“This product also contains 9g of fibre (nearly a third of your recommended daily fibre intake), seemingly from the added chicory root fibre – a prebiotic fibre that feeds beneficial gut bacteria,” says Claire.
“Be careful though, as this could trigger bloating and gas in some people, particularly in excess.
“This bar also uses artificial sweeteners (a polyol called xylitol), which can trigger gut issues and have laxative effects, particularly if you’re eating them regularly.”
Taste test: Dark chocolate raspberry seems to be a popular protein bar choice but I’m here for it.
This tastes like a chocolate bar but knowing it’s not filled with cr** makes me feel much less guilty.
Lucy Gornall reveals some of the best protein sources that won't break the bank:
Tinned fish
Mackerel 15g per 100g
Tuna 25g per 100g
Sardines and salmon 17g per 100g
Cottage cheese
10g per 100g
Plain/Greek yoghurt
4 to 10.5g per 100g; Greek yoghurt has more protein than plain or natural yoghurt, but the former is more expensive
Stewing cuts of meat
Beef shin – 20 to 22g per 100g
Lamb shoulder – 17 to 20g per 100g
Oxtail – 19.6g per 100g
Non-Gmo tofu
Firm tofu 12 to 16g per 100g
Silken tofu 6.5g per 100g
WITH an impressive 20g of protein per bar, which Warrior says is “almost as much as a chicken breast”, this is a handy way to top up your protein.
But Claire warns: “It’s not just about the protein. In a chicken breast, you’d get the protein alongside lots of other important nutrients, including B vitamins, zinc, iron, selenium and more.”
She says that despite this bar being “low sugar”, the artificial sweeteners used to replace it, known as polyols (sugar alcohols), can trigger gut symptoms, especially in people with irritable bowel syndrome.
“They’re approved for safe use as food additives, however more research is being done and the European Food Standards Association is currently re-evaluating the safety of maltitol, which is used in this bar.”
Healthline says: “After eating maltitol, some people experience stomach pains and gas. It can also act similarly to a laxative and cause diarrhoea.
“The severity of these side effects depends on how much of it you eat and how your body reacts to it.”
Taste test: This tastes rich, exactly like a naughty brownie.
The colourful little edible balls add an extra crunch and the bar generally is just the right amount of chewy.
6. Free Soul Chocolate Caramel and Peanut Vegan protein bar
Free SoulFree Soul Chocolate Caramel and Peanut Vegan Protein Bar[/caption]
THESE are described as “incredibly delicious, triple-layered, plant-based protein bars coated in real dark chocolate with a gooey core”.
Each one contains a decent 16.5g of protein and 3.6g of fibre.
“The sugar and calorie content are very low at 0.5g and around 159 respectively, however these bars do contain sugar alcohols like maltitol and xylitol,” says registered nutritionist Clarissa Lenherr.
“They also contain more processed ingredients than I would typically like to see in a protein bar.”
This includes the emulsifier lecithin, the humectant vegetable glycerine, polydextrose as a bulking agent and gum acacia as a thickener.
Taste test: The chocolate is super milky.
I popped this in the microwave for 45 seconds and let it melt a little for a bit more of a gooey bar.
MADE from mostly whole food ingredients with 26g of protein and 14g of fibre per bar, Clarissa says this is great for feeling full and for muscle maintenance.
“The sugar content is quite high at nearly 40g per bar – more than a can of Coke!” she adds.
“That’s likely down to the fact that this is designed to provide energy and fuel for performance.
“I wouldn’t say this is a great everyday option for those who aren’t fueling for intense exercise like a marathon.”
Taste test: Yum! The Blueberry & Almond flavour tastes like a berry, marzipan-style pie.
It’s chewy and tasty and filled with chia seeds. It’s actually surprisingly filling too.
MyProteinMyProtein Filled Wafer in Hazelnut[/caption]
AS a protein-enriched bar rather than a protein bar, this only provides 4.8g of protein.
Claire says this should only be seen as a sweet snack, just like you would see a chocolate bar.
“As well as the whey protein isolate, this product is made from sugar, different types of fat (shea fat, palm and milk fat), with chocolate, emulsifiers and flavourings,” she adds.
Taste test: I expected this to taste like a Kinder Bueno bar and to be honest, it’s not far off, just a little less creamy.
But it still tastes naughty and thanks to being a wafer, it’s super light.
Protein isn’t just for bulking in the gym. It is the building block of a number of systems in the body.
What is protein needed for?
Protein isn’t just for bulking in the gym. It is the building block of a number of systems in the body. These are just some…
Muscle repair: Protein helps build and repair muscle tissues, making it vital for athletes, bodybuilders, and those recovering from injuries.
Supports immune system: Proteins are involved in the production of antibodies, which help fight infections and diseases.
Hormone production: Protein is necessary for the creation of enzymes and hormones that regulate bodily processes, such as digestion and metabolism.
Skin, hair, and nails: Protein contributes to the maintenance of skin elasticity, hair strength, and nail growth.
Energy: While carbohydrates and fats are the primary energy sources, protein can act as an energy reserve when needed.
Weight control: Protein helps you feel fuller for longer, reducing hunger and supporting healthy weight loss or maintenance.

A STAR of a legendary 90s TV series looks unrecognisable 31 years after the hit show ended.
Louise Lombard, 54, may have shot to fame on the small screen, but she most recently featured in Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster epic, Oppenheimer.

She first found fame in The House of Eliott back in the 1990sBBCThe shoe was set in the 1920s and was about two sisters who teamed up on a dressmaking business[/caption]
She played Ruth Sherman Tolman, an American psychologist and professor, who had a close relationship with J. Robert Oppenheimer, head of the Manhattan Project.
Louise has also appeared in some episodes of US TV show Grimm, and another show called Star-Crossed.
But rewind more than thirty years and she was playing Evangeline in BBC’s The House of Elliot.
The TV show was about two sisters in 1920s London, who teamed up on a dressmaking business which eventually transformed into a haute couture fashion house.
The siblings were called Beatrice and Evangeline Eliott, with the show airing between 1991 and 1994.
Beatrice was played by Stella Gonet, who went on to appear on Holby City.
Meanwhile, Louise decided to take a career break studying for a degree in English literature at Cambridge University between 1998 and 2000.
But her TV career took off again in 2004 when she appeared in US TV show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, starring as Sofia Curtis.
She continued in the role until 2011 and has continued to work steadily in TV series and films.
These days Louise has blonde hair, and the California tan to match it.
This is in stark contrast to how she looked in The House of Eliott, where she had short, brunette locks typical of the 1920s.
In her personal life, Louise has two children and tied the knot with second husband Tom Poleman in May this year in a stylish New York ceremony.

And French side Toulouse now want £18million for the former Leeds prospect, with the Whites potentially benefitting from a sell-on clause.
Several Prem clubs are watching but Serie A sides Atalanta and Como may come up with the cash for the Englishman, a key player for Lee Carsley as his side won the U21s Euros.
Sunderland have been linked to the defender, who has three years left on his contract.
Cresswell’s stock has risen after he played a key role in England U21s’ Euros win, with the 22-year-old revealing the Three Lions have always played a big role in his life.
He said: “I was brought up with England always a massive part of my childhood.
“I’d go to the local pub and I’d be watching the first team with all my mates, my dad’s mates and it would be like a big deal.
“So for me every time I pull on an England shirt it feels like an honour, a huge honour. I’m immensely proud that I get to do this.
“For me to go out there and give my everything it’s the least I can do.”

MET Eireann have revealed exactly where is going to escape rain set to fall across the country today.
It comes as today starts off cloudy with patchy mist, drizzle and areas of fog near the south coast.
MeteologixThere is a lot of rain headed for Ireland[/caption]
MeteologixAnd that rain will continue until a switch next week[/caption]
As the day progresses sunshine will develop in a lot of areas, especially this evening.
But some cloud and mist patches will linger along southern coasts and Met Eireann warn showers will “bubble up” in places.
They revealed exactly where will be hit by downpours and where will remain dry.
They explained: “A few showers may bubble up later this afternoon too, mainly in parts of Leinster and east Ulster.”
They added: “Highest temperatures of 19C to 25C warmest across the midlands and east, with winds becoming light to moderate south to southwesterly and freshening later near some western coastal parts.”
The tonight it will be cloudy again with outbreaks of rain and drizzle spreading from the west.
Mist and fog is to be expected too.
And as rain continues tomorrow weather expert Alan O’Reilly has pinpointed exactly where is set to stay dry amid 5mm of water.
Posting on X under Carlow Weather he said: “Rain pushing in from West Monday and over 5mm for many spots but the Sunny Southeast escaping most of it.”
Met Eireann added rain would be most “persistent and heavy” in the west and north of the country.
It will become drier and brighter in these parts later on tomorrow but cloud will continue.
Temperatures could reach up to 23C in parts of the country on Monday before dropping to just 8C in a cloudy night.
Tuesday and Wednesday are set for more rain and cloud with “temperatures dropping back from recent highs”.
And the nights will be “cooler” too Met Eireann have warned.
However, by Thursday we will see a switch to more “settled” conditions.

“Some more cloud and showers are expected in the afternoon but that should be mostly confined to western areas.
“Highest temperatures likely in the mid to high teens.”

INVESTIGATORS are probing whether the Air India crash which killed 260 people was caused by sabotage.
A total of 52 Brits died when the Boeing 787 Dreamliner slammed into a medical college after both engines appeared to fail moments after take-off.

AFPAnother 19 people were killed on the ground in Ahmedabad[/caption]
Dan CharityVishwas Ramesh was the sole survivor of the crash[/caption]
Another 19 people were killed on the ground in Ahmedabad and the Indian government has now revealed that air investigators are considering sabotage as a possible cause.
India’s Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol said: “The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has begun a full investigation. It is being probed from all angles, including any possible sabotage.”
Although there has previously been speculation of potential sabotage, this is the first time officials have formally acknowledged it as a possible cause of the crash.
The pilot of Air India 171, Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, 55, frantically radioed air traffic control moments after take-off on June 12 to yell: “No thrust… May Day…May Day.”
Both engines appeared to have lost power – an incredibly rare occurrence described by experts as a “one in a billion event”.
And the AAIB is now looking into whether it was caused by fuel contamination as a result of a deliberate act.
Mr Mohol said: “The CCTV footage is being reviewed and all angles are being assessed… several agencies are working on it.
“Once the report comes, we will be able to ascertain if it was an engine problem or fuel supply issue or why both the engines had stopped functioning.
“There is a CVR (cockpit voice recorder) in the black box which has stored the conversation between the two pilots.
“It is too early to say anything but whatever it is, it will come out. The report will come in three months.”
The plane’s black box has been found at the crash site and is now being analysed in India.
It includes a Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) which records data such as altitude and speed and the Cockpit Voice Recorder which retains anything the pilots say as well as background noise.
Mr Mohol dismissed reports that the black box would be sent abroad for scrutiny.
He said: “It will not go anywhere. It is in AAIB’s custody and there is no need to send it outside. We will do the entire investigation.”
He also reassured passengers that air travel in India – particularly on the country’s 33 Dreamliners – was safe.
He said: “All 33 Dreamliners have been inspected on the orders of the DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation). Everything was found safe. That is why I said it was a rare accident. People are no longer scared and travelling comfortably.”
The flight reached an altitude of just 625 feet before gliding down and crashing 33 seconds after take-off.
It hit the hostel of a medical college where hundreds of students and staff were having lunch.
Vishwash Ramesh, of Leicester, was the only person on the plane to survive after crawling out of the mangled fuselage.
Tragically his brother Ajay, 35, died on the plane.
Married dad-of-one Vishwash later told The Sun his escape was a miracle but revealed he was traumatised that Ajay had died.
He said: “I tried to get two seats together but someone had already got one. Me and Ajay would have been sitting together.
“But I lost his brother in front of my eyes. So now I am constantly thinking ‘Why can’t I save my brother?’
“It’s a miracle I survived. I am okay physically but I feel terrible that I could not save Ajay.”

A GLASTONBURY headliner has been hit with a slew of “lip syncing” accusations after some fans were less than impressed with their set.
The Apple hitmaker, 32, was alleged to be “miming to her own records” as they cut a sizzling figure on The Other Stage on Saturday.

APCharli XCX cut a sizzling figure on The Other Stage on Saturday[/caption]
GettyYet some alleged she was not singing live[/caption]
Brit-award winner Charli XCX certainly looked the part for her time in the spotlight at Glastonbury’s Worthy Farm, donning a black leather crop top and matching hotpants.
She completed her look with dark thigh-high boots and a pair of sunglasses despite the night-time surroundings, styling her hair into waves over her shoulders.
Charli opened her set with a quip of ” you ready” before launching into hit 365 before following up with 360.
She rattled through 17 tracks before wrapping up shortly before midnight yet despite the songstress’ fashion credentials – and signature green brat backdrop screen with flashing lights – some were less than impressed.
They accused her of miming and suggested an excessive use of autotune in tracks such as I Might Say Something Stupid.
After watching the set from their sofas on the BBC one took to X to write: “Just miming to her own records.”
A second put: “Headline act at #Glastonbury2025 #Glasto is miming. Absolutely terrible,” as a third wrote: “Charli XCX miming her way thru every song at Glastonbury, her mic only used for the odd ‘Come On’ shout. Live should be live.”
One then put: “Is @charli_xcx lip syncing.”
Another confessed: “Will NEVER understand the Charli XCX hype. Either miming, auto tune or talking.”
A fan then posted: “Has Charli XCX sung a single lyric yet?”
Yet others loved the party vibe the beauty brought to Glasto.
One mused: “Loving that Charli xcx and the 1975 have got all middle aged men in tears this weekend, can’t wait for Olivia Rodrigo!!”
Another wrote: “Dude… Charli XCX was f**king class.”
One then put: “How cool is Charli xcx”

The Britpop icons, fronted by Jarvis Cocker, had ramped up speculation for their set by not appearing on the line-up – instead choosing to go by a mystery namefor a secret set.
At 6.15pm, the Pyramid stage filled with nearly 100 people dressed in black and white ponchos as the band was finally revealed.
Taking a swipe at Charli XCX, who is headlining the Other Stage later tonight, a screen behind the band flashed the words “Are you ready for…. Pulp Summer.”
The message was a direct reference to the ‘Brat Summer’ Charli celebrated last year thanks to her smash-hit album.
