Sheffield United have signed Aston Villa winger Louie Barry on a season long loan deal from the Premier League side.

The 22 year old arrives in S2 having already spent time with Selles during his time at Hull City.

Speaking to the Blades website, Barry said: "The first time I had conversations about it, I just couldn't wait to come here. The season is three weeks away, and I know we have a couple of friendlies before, but I am just buzzing to get started.

"I've been at Villa, playing games, training and working hard just for whatever will come next. As I say, when a club like this comes calling, you can't turn it down and I can't wait to get into it.

"I love his (Rubén Sellés) style of play, it is exactly what I stand for as a player. I just want to get to the goal as quick as possible. I have got a really good relationship with the gaffer and the staff, so I can't wait to get into training now."

Elsewhere, United have secured the services of Bulgarian teenager Mihail Polendakov.

The 18 year old defender joins from Septemvri Sofia an undisclosed fee.
