Peschi nearer to United each day

Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock could use some of the cash raised from the sale of Wayne Quinn to buy loan star Paul Peschisolido from Fulham.

United will receive an initial £750,000 from Newcastle for Quinn and further payments will see the figure rise to around £1million.

Peschisolido has done well since arriving on loan from Fulham a month ago, scoring two goals in three appearances. The Canadian international striker is due to spend two months on loan with the option of a third month.

Warnock has been pleased with Peschisolido's contribution. He said: "Paul's got some great habits and has fitted in well." Peschisolido is well down the pecking order at Fulham and clearly does not figure in Jean Tigana's plans.

e would cost around £500,000 and Warnock may decide to try and buy the former Birmingham star now rather than risk another club coming in to sign him. United's South Yorkshire rivals Barnsley are understood to have contacted Fulham about the player.

Peschisolido has indicated that he would be interested in joining United full-scale.
