RMC report that Premier League side Sheffield United are close to an €18m deal to sign 22-year-old French striker Neal Maupay from Brentford in the Championship.
The deal, which is now in the advanced stages of negotiation, would earn St Étienne €3.5m, after they included a 20% sell-on percentage clause in the original deal in which they sold the former OGC Nice marksman to Brentford.
