Oliver Arblaster is the talk of the town at Sheffield United right now after a number of excellent performances recently.
Chris Wilder has thrown Arblaster in the starting XI recently and the young midfielder has rewarded the gaffer with a number of excellent performances.
Yesterday, against a Chelsea side full of talent and boasting two midfielders who the Blues shelled out north of £200m on, Arblaster more than held his own.
Chris Wilder spoke highly of the youngster following the game and rightly so. The Blades boss admitted it was Arblaster who got his side going once again.
Of course, there’s a long way for Arblaster to go in his career and he’s very much just scratching the surface.
However, he is very highly-thought of at Bramall Lane and it seems the respect goes both ways, with Arblaster himself singing the praises of one Sheffield United coach in particular.

Speaking to SUTV after the game with Carl Asaba, Arblaster opened up on how he’s finding life at Sheffield United at the moment.
And in doing so, Arblaster took some time out to praise the impact of new coach, Keith Andrews.
Andrews is new to the club having only joined when Wilder came back a few months ago. But Arblaster has said the former Ireland midfielder has been key in helping him develop.
“Keith Andrews is really good with me and we sit and go through clips, my clips and other world class midfielders and little things I want to add to my game. I feel like I’m growing, I’m not near my best and I’ve got a lot to work on but the coaching staff here have really helped me,” Arblaster said.
Arblaster has been knocking at the door for some time now and was previously picked up by Stuart McCall as a player to watch at the club.
Now, getting his chance in the Premier League, it very much seems like Arblaster is seizing his chance.
Andrews, on the other hand, seems to be quietly going about his business at the club and has clearly made an impact with certain players already.
