Swansea City head coach Luke Williams has expressed his disappointment at not being able to sign striker Tyrese Campbell.

Despite Swansea's interest in the player, the 24-year-old signed a three-year contract at Championship rivals Sheffield United.

Campbell was a free agent, having been released by Stoke City earlier this summer and held talks with Williams over a possible move.

"I think it was realistic and disappointing because he's a really good player but, of course, to lose out to a big club in the division is understandable," said Williams.

"A talented player has a lot of options and if a club is able to convince the player that his best option is them, if it is Sheffield United, you can understand that.

"It's a shame because he's a really good player and a good guy. I did talk to him. I really enjoyed talking to him about football but we have to move on to a new target".
