Wilder adamant Ramsdale will prove Sheffield Utd transfer coup

Chris Wilder insists Sheffield United have pulled off a coup by signing Aaron Ramsdale.

The English goalkeeper joined from Bournemouth on Wednesday, three-and-a-half years since he left Bramall Lane for the Cherries.

And Wilder is convinced Ramsdale will continue to fulfil his immense potential in Yorkshire.

"The goalkeeping situation is something we have to make sure we get right," Wilder told the club's website.

"This is not about Dean (Henderson), it's about bringing Aaron in.

"Dean was outstanding for us for two years.

We know a lot about Aaron, we've watched him develop on loan at Chesterfield and then AFC Wimbledon and obviously we've watched him this season, too.

"I'd like to thank the board for their backing given the situation.

"Aaron is certainly amongst the best young goalkeepers in this country and we are delighted to have him."
