🚨 Ben Brereton Díaz completes Sheffield United return | OneFootball

Ben Brereton Diaz has completed his move from Southampton to Sheffield United.

The Chile international joins the Blades on a second loan spell having spent six months in the Steel City last year.

The 25-year-old opted to eventually join the Premier League Saints last summer but has now returned to Bramall Lane in a deal until the end of the season.

This current move is reported to include a permanent option for around £10m.

Speaking to the club's official website, the forward said: "I'm absolutely buzzing, it is a club I've been at before and really enjoyed and I obviously know the staff and the players that are still here.

"For me personally, with a young family back in Southampton I didn't want to go somewhere else unfamiliar, but most importantly I know what the gaffer and his staff are about and I've been delighted to see the team doing so well this season, for me it was a no brainer to come back.

"The atmosphere last year was tough at times, but I still enjoyed my football and loved every minute of my time at the club, the fans were brilliant, it is a real family club and there is a connection now which is important. No other club was an option for me.

"Coming back to Sheffield United this time I know I will enjoy it more than the first time, the lads have done unbelievably well and I'm just here to hopefully help the team achieve the goal of promotion."
