Tyrese Campbell was wanted by several other Championship clubs but opted for a move to Bramall Lane [Getty Images] Sheffield United have completed the signing of former Stoke City striker Tyrese Campbell.

The 24-year-old was a free agent, having been released by Stoke at the end of his contract earlier this summer. He has signed a three-year deal with the Blades.

"To be wanted by Sheffield United, as soon as I heard that, it was my goal to be a Sheffield United player," he told the club website.

Campbell, who was at Manchester City as a youngster, made 146 league appearances for Stoke, scoring 31 goals.

A number of other clubs, including Swansea City, were interested in signing him.

He is the son of former Arsenal and Everton striker Kevin Campbell, who died in June at the age of 54.

"Tyrese is someone I've liked for a long time," said Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder.

"As an opposition manager I always saw something in him which made me think I'd like to work with him one day, so I'm delighted to bring him to Bramall Lane.

"You can argue he has a point to prove at the level, but as a staff we have had success in taking on players similar to Tyrese's situation and then getting the best out of them.

"There's a desire from Tyrese to step up to the challenge, and we see a really talented player here who is still only 24. It is a partnership which we believe can flourish."

Campbell's arrival is the Yorkshire club's eighth signing of the summer transfer window and third in the space of a week, following loan deals to bring in Harry Souttar and Alfie Gilchrist from Leicester City and Chelsea respectively.
