Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock will sign Fulham striker Paul Peschisolido subject to a medical in a cut-price deal.

Originally, the Premiership newcomers wanted £1million for the diminutive forward but it is understood the Cottagers have relented and will accept around £250,000 for the 30-year-old.

Peschisolido had a successful spell on loan at Bramall Lane last season after being surplus to requirements at Craven Cottage and his imminent arrival in South Yorkshire has been greeted with enthusiasmby the Blades boss Warnock.

"Paul's arrival brings a better balance to the squad," he said.

"If you take away Carl Asaba we struggled for goals from strikers last season.

"Paul has had to take a large drop in money but has been prepared to do that because he really wanted the move."

The Canadian-born player has previously played for Birmingham City, Stoke and West Brom. He joined Fulham from the Baggies during the 1997/98 season and is a darting, speedy type of player whose dashing runs at defenders can cause mayhem in the opponents defence.

Thanks for all the memories Pesch and the best of luck at Sheffield Utd - Fulhamweb
