Sheffield United have signed midfielder Mo Besic on a season-long loan from Everton.

Besic joined Everton from Hungarian side Ferencvaros in 2014 and has since made 56 appearances for the club.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina international spent the last season-and-a-half on loan at Championship side Middlesbrough.

Blades boss Chris Wilder said: "I am delighted to get a midfielder through the door. Mo is a proper player. He has great pedigree which includes playing internationally and playing in the Premier League.

"He is an excellent all-round central midfielder. He is someone who can do everything we want a midfielder to do.

"Mo has played as a defensive midfielder for his country but he can also play further forward. Overall we feel this window has been a great success."
