DONE DEAL: Sheffield Utd sign Leicester fullback Thomas

Sheffield United have signed Leicester City fullback Luke Thomas.

Thomas moves to Bramall Lane on a season-long loan.

He told the club’s website: “When United came in a few days ago, it was an easy decision for me. Coming back to playing Premier League football is obviously what I wanted to do. Coming here is a great experience and I can’t wait to get started.

“I had interest elsewhere at the time but then United came along and it was an easy decision like I say – a no brainer really. I can’t wait to get going.

“I think this is a huge moment. Getting game time and getting into the team here is a key thing for me. I want to be playing as many games as possible, especially in the Premier League, my career has gone well so far, I’ve won a few things, so hopefully I can continue that here.”

Blades manager Paul Heckingbottom commented: “Luke has got a top pedigree, he’s a good young player who also has a wealth of experience at Premier League level. What also impressed me was that he was hungry to come in and is keen to get started.”
