Sheffield United have reportedly rejected an approach from Rangers for striker Ryan One, underlining their intention to retain one of their most highly regarded young players. The decision matters because Rangers’ interest has prompted renewed attention on the Scotland youth international, while the Blades view him as part of their plans rather than a player to be sold or loaned out.

One is 20 and impressed during a loan spell at Lincoln City, attracting interest from Rangers and reportedly Leicester City. Reports suggest Rangers explored a loan deal with an option to buy, but Sheffield United were unwilling to agree; the club would only consider discussions if a significant permanent offer were made. The reports have not indicated that a transfer is close.
