'I just can't wait to get started'

Ben Brereton Diaz has said he "can't wait to get started" at Bramall Lane after joining Sheffield United on loan from Spanish side Villarreal.
Brereton Diaz, who excelled at Championship level for Blackburn before moving to La Liga in the summer, said: "As soon as I knew there was interest, I spoke to a few people and we got it done quickly.
"I wasn't really playing out there and was told I could go out on loan, so it is great to be over in England now at such a great club - a club I know well through playing against.
"I spoke to Chris [Wilder] on the phone and he was telling me about what the team stands for; hard work, desire and things like that. That's something I enjoy, and it was something I wanted to be part of.
"Coming here is great for myself. Playing in the Premier League is something you dream of as a young boy so that's great for me and I just can't wait to get started."
