Aston Villa supporters have kept an eye on Cameron Archer as he made his debut for Sheffield United this afternoon.

The 21-year-old made his debut for the Blades against Everton after sealing the £18.5million switch to Bramall Lane last week. It didn't take him long to adapt to his surroundings however, netting his first goal in the 33rd minute as the sides drew 2-2.


Speaking of his move to Bramall Lane, Archer said: "Everyone is happy if they are playing football regularly. That's something I want to do now.


"I think it was important to come here and look for Premier League football, that was key for me because I want to make that next step now and challenge myself. Hopefully I can do that here. Sheffield United have a long history of developing players in terms of playing and hopefully making better people as well."
