DONE DEAL: Sheffield Utd swoop for BK Hacken striker Benie Traore

Sheffield United have swooped for BK Hacken striker Benie Traore.

The youngster moves to Bramall Lane for an undisclosed fee, penning a four-year contract.

Traore leaves the Allsvenskan as the leading scorer this season with 12 goals in 14 matches.

Hacken sporting director Martin Ericsson said: "We are happy and proud of the development that he has had with us, that is the basis for this historic sale.

"Traore has made an incredible journey in the last year, a journey that is almost unparalleled.

"It is of course extra fun when such a player and person gets to take the next step and play in the world's best league, the Premier League."
