Sheffield United have confirmed the signing of Aston Villa forward Cameron Archer on a four-year contract in a deal worth a reported £18.5m.
Blades Confirm Cameron Archer Signing
The Blades announced the signing of Archer on Sunday morning, with Villa negotiating a buy-back clause in the deal to have control over the striker’s future.
Archer scored 11 goals in 20 Championship games for Middlesborough last season in a second successful loan spell in the second tier. He also had a short stint at Preston North End the season before.
Villa coach Unai Emery gave Archer a chance to prove himself in pre-season and he featured in all three of the club’s Premier League Sumer Series friendlies in America.
The 21-year-old helped England lift the European U21 Championship in July and impressed.
Archer was an unused sub in the 4-0 win over Everton last weekend, but was not included in the squad that travelled to Scotland to take on Hibernian for the Conference League play-off on Wednesday. The Villains were 5-0 winners at Easter Road as Ollie Watkins netted a hat-trick.
