who claim that the Championship duo are keen on striking a deal with the Cherries, who believe that the next step for the Canadian-born striker’s development is a season of consistent minutes and performances in the second tier.
Jebbison was one of many who left Sheffield United in recent weeks following the expiration of his contract at Bramall Lane, which paved the way for his move to Andoni Iraola’s Premier League side, with a £1.5 million agreement sorted between Bournemouth and United to avoid the deal going to a tribunal.
Leeds and Sunderland are two clubs who bear significant expectations upon their shoulders in the second tier, with the Whites narrowly missing out on promotion last season in the play-off final, whilst the Black Cats will hope for a marked improvement on their dismal 2024 so far under the new management of Frenchman, Regis Le Bris.

The aforementioned report from has namedropped the two Championship giants as two potential destinations for the former England youth international, despite only confirming his move to the Vitality Stadium just last week.
The report goes on to state that at least six teams have expressed an interest in Jebbison’s services, as Bournemouth believe a season of regular football in the second tier would benefit all parties, especially the striker after a troubled time in the Steel City.
