Done Deal: Sheffield Utd sign Aston Villa striker Cameron Archer

Sheffield United have signed Aston Villa striker Cameron Archer.

Archer moves to Bramall Lane on a four-year contract and for an 18m fee.

"Everyone is happy if they are playing football regularly," he said. "That's something I want to do now."

"I think it was important to come here and look for Premier League football," Archer added. "That was key for me because I want to make that next step now and challenge myself.

"Sheffield United have a long history of developing players in terms of playing and hopefully making better people as well."

Archer is United's latest signing after the arrivals of Gustavo Hamer, Vinicius Souza, Auston Trusty, Benie Traore, Anis Slimane, Tom Davies and Yasser Larouchi.

"There was a great opportunity for us to sign a young, exciting forward and one who showed a desire to join us," said Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom.

"Cameron brings us pace, agility and a goalscoring record - we are looking forward to working with him."
