Slimane becomes Sheffield United's 1st signing since EPL return

LONDON (AP) — Sheffield United made its first signing since returning to the Premier League, bringing in Tunisia international Anis Slimane from Danish club Brondby on Thursday.

The 22-year-old midfielder, who played at last year’s World Cup in Qatar, said he was attracted by the culture of the club.

“I heard it is a hard-working club and that reminds me of myself,” he said. “I love to work hard, and I love to give everything — leave everything out on the pitch. At this club, nothing is given, everything is worked for."

Sheffield United is preparing for life back in the Premier League after two seasons away.
