“Good luck everyone, we’ll see each other again. “
It’s a move that was proven as soon as Sheffield United were relegated due to the terms of the contract, however, Aston Villa have now officially announced the arrival of Cameron Archer.
Villa sold the striker to the Blades in the summer of 2023, but as part of the deal, Sheffield United’s relegation to the Championship would see Archer return to Villa Park.
Therefore, the Blades paid a giant sum for a one-year loan.
It’s unclear what will happen to Archer now that he’s returned, but with John Duran’s future uncertain, it’s imaginable that Archer will stay and compete with Ollie Watkins.
Alternatively, Villa could simply move him if they find a suitable candidate.
