Immediate Move
Tom Davies, the 25-year-old midfielder, has made an immediate return to the Premier League after leaving Everton this summer. Davies, who played 179 games for the Toffees, turned down a new contract with his boyhood club and has now signed a three-year deal with Sheffield United.
Seeking Game Time
Despite being offered the opportunity to stay and fight for his place at Goodison Park, Davies decided to leave in search of more regular game time. After starting just four Premier League games last season, the former England youth international made the move to Sheffield United.
Excitement and Hunger
Davies expressed his enthusiasm and hunger to get started at his new club, saying that he is excited to join a great project at Sheffield United. He described the Premier League as the best league in the world and believes that facing the best teams and players is an exciting challenge.
Youngest-Ever Captain
In 2018, Davies became Everton's youngest-ever captain when he skippered his side in a League Cup clash with Rotherham at the age of 20. He went on to wear the armband on five more occasions in the Premier League.
Early Promise
Davies burst onto the scene at Everton as a teenager and made his Premier League debut in 2016. He gained more playing time under Ronald Koeman and made a memorable impact with a stunning solo goal against Manchester City in 2017.
Davies also represented England at the Under-21 level, earning 23 caps and participating in the Euro U21 Championships two years ago.
With this immediate transfer return to the Premier League, it will be interesting to see how Davies performs at Sheffield United and whether he can establish himself as a key player for his new club.
