Tom Davies admits the chance to play in his favoured position convinced him about Sheffield United.

Davies left boyhood club Everton for Sheffield United last month.

"I've always seen myself as a box-to-box midfielder," he explained. "When I first broke into the team at Everton, it was more to do with the attacking side and I would play a lot more offensively than the last few years where I dropped into a deeper role. That's where I see myself playing [advanced] and Sheffield United have noticed that in me too.

"It was a big reason why I wanted to come here. He [Paul Heckingbottom] has seen the same things I see in myself and was really keen to develop them. The plan he showed me made sense.

"That development for myself and the confidence of backing my own game, that I know I have, was a massive reason I came here."
