Sheffield United have signed striker Rhian Brewster from Liverpool in a club-record deal worth a reported £23.5million.

England Under-21s striker Brewster, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Swansea, has agreed a five-year deal.

"United have again smashed the club's record transfer fee to secure the services of the sought-after striker, patiently fighting off competition from Premier League rivals in the process," the Blades said on their official website.

"Brewster has penned a five-year deal at Bramall Lane, with United agreeing a substantial, undisclosed fee with Liverpool for the services of the England Under-21 international and it's a piece of business that has left Chris Wilder delighted."

"At the top of the pitch we have one of the country's hottest properties from Liverpool and for him to sign permanently here is fantastic for everyone concerned," Blades boss Chris Wilder added.

"There has been a lot of interest in him over the summer, a lot of speculation about who we were going for, but he has been our number one target and I am delighted to have secured his services."

United are yet to earn a point, or score a goal, after three games of the Premier League season and travel to in-form Arsenal on Sunday.
