Burke adds to attacking options at Sheff Utd

Sheffield United have made their sixth senior signing of the summer after securing a deal for forward Oliver Burke from West Bromwich Albion.

The 23-year-old moves to Bramall Lane for an undisclosed fee having agreed a three-year contract.

"We needed a touch of pace and Oli certainly gives us that," manager Chris Wilder told the club's official website.

"He's had a couple of big moves in the past that haven't gone as he'd have hoped, but it's down to us now to give him a kick-start and he's got all the attributes we want and need."

Burke started his career at Nottingham Forest before moving to RB Leipzig in 2016.

A year later he signed for West Brom, making 15 appearances in the Premier League, before having loan spells at Celtic and Alaves.

The deal sees forward Callum Robinson move in the opposite direction.
