Kemp To Sheffield United?

25th September 2006

Apparently, according to one Sunday newspaper, Sheffield United are interested in signing Lincoln City's defender Tom Kemp when the transfer window reopens in January.

Presently the rumour is unconfirmed but Kemp is highly-rated by Lincoln City. Currently, he is enjoying a loan spell at Conference club Tamworth where - after a shaky start - he has established himself a first team regular alongside former Imp Simon Weaver.

First year professional Kemp is a product of two youth academies, so Lincoln City FC cannot actually claim all the credit for his development. He began his training at Derby County but felt that his chances would be limited by Derby's highly-rated Tom Huddlestone. With that in mind, all parties agreed a deal whereby Kemp joined Lincoln City's youth academy.
