Sheffield United have broken their club record for a second time this summer with the signing of Callum Robinson from Preston North End.

Robinson is the third new acquisition by Sheff Utd manager Chris Wilder ahead of the 2019/20 season, having agreed four-year deal.

"Callum is someone who was on our radar a number of years ago and he has progressed how we thought he would and hopefully there is plenty more to come," Wilder told the club's official website.

The 24-year-old Republic of Ireland striker was Preston's top scorer last season with 13 goals, despite missing nearly four months with a hamstring injury.

Robinson, who follows Phil Jagielka and Luke Freeman to Bramall Lane this summer, has already made four Premier League appearances as a teenager for Aston Villa in 2013/14.

He will join his new team-mates on the club's pre-season training camp in Portugal but will not play in Friday's friendly against Real Betis.

Sheff Utd open their PL campaign at AFC Bournemouth on Saturday 10 August.
