If Sheffield United are unable to sign Dean Henderson permanently, then all the Blades need to do is look internally for his replacement.

Dewhurst has had three loan spells away at Guiseley twice and currently Carlisle United, although he failed to make any appearances for the latter before all football was suspended.

Despite this, he has show great reflexes and handling for someone his age and, provided he gets adequate game time, he should develop very well.

The natural sweeper keeper is quite fortuitous in that goalkeepers will continue developing later than most other positions will, and with a vast lack of other world-class English goalkeepers, he should be a target for any Premier League club.

The 19-year-old has shown great promise in his 21 appearances with Guiseley this season as well as across multiple national youth levels, and we are keen to see how he can develop going forward.
