Stelios turns down Blades offer

Stelios Giannakopoulos
Stelios does not want to drop down to the Championship

Bolton's Greece international winger Stelios Giannakopoulos has turned down a move to Sheffield United.

The Blades had agreed a loan with the Premiership side for Giannakopoulos, but the 33-year-old has refused to drop down to the Championship.

Bramall Lane boss Bryan Robson told the Blades website: "(The move for) Stelios is definitely dead in the water.

"He doesn't want to drop down into the Championship and I couldn't persuade him to do that."

Robson added: "It would have been nice to have him in our squad, but it's not going to happen and we have to move on."
