The versatile teenager, who can play at centre-half or in midfield, is highly rated by both Chelsea and Wales and spent last season on loan in Germany with RB Leipzig.

"A lot of people have told me a lot of good things about this place. It's a nice stadium, and I'm looking forward to getting going now.

"A lot of people said good things about the manager [Chris Wilder] too, and that came across when I spoke to him myself.

"There's a good feel about the place. You could almost say that it feels like a bit of a family here, and that's one of the things that attracted me.

"I'm feeling good and fit and I can't wait to get started."
