Sheffield United have swooped for Bournemouth striker Lys Mousset.

The Sun says the Blades have broken their transfer record for a THIRD time this summer with the signing of 10million Bournemouth striker Mousset.

The eight-cap France Under-21s star has signed a three-year deal at the club, following Luke Freeman and Callum Robinson in becoming the Blades' biggest-ever buy.

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder is excited about his future at the Bramall Lane.

Wilder claimed: "Lys is big, quick and a different type of threat at the top of the pitch to what we already have.

"I think he will prove to be a great fit for us and the fact that he selected us above other options shows he's hungry to do well.

"It is a fantastic bit of business for us in the current market and we are looking forward to him joining up with the squad."
