Villarreal striker Ben Brereton Diaz has signed with Sheffield United.

The Chile international has joined United on-loan to the end of the season.

He said: "As soon as I knew there was interest, I spoke to a few people, and we got it done quickly.

"I wasn't really playing out there (in Spain) and was told I could go out on loan, so it is great to be over in England now at such a great club and a club I know well through playing against. I can't wait to get started.

"I spoke to Chris (Wilder) on the phone, and he was telling me about what the team stands for - hard work, desire and things like that.

"That's something I enjoy, and it was something I wanted to be part of. Coming here is great for myself, playing in the Premier League is something you dream of as a young boy so that's great for me and I just can't wait to get started."
