Chris Wilder has refused to rule out the possibility of Ben Brereton Diaz remaining at Sheffield United beyond the end of the season as his loan move from Southampton moves ever closer. The Chilean international is close to returning to Bramall Lane until the end of the current campaign and could make his second ‘debut’ tomorrow at Swansea City if the deal is tied up ahead of the registration deadline.
