Sheffield signs Dutch striker Richairo Zivkovic from the Chinese League
Sheffield United are not playing around this transfer window and have added some noteworthy names. The new man incoming is striker Richairo Zivkovic from Chinese club, Changchun Yatai.
The club from Bramall Lane has included striker Richairo Zivkovic on a loan deal. He will join from Chinese club, Changchun Yatai until the season concludes. Hours ago Wilder’s club announced the amazing catch of Genk midfielder, Sander Berge.
He was their record-breaking signing at £22 million. The club has wasted no time in adding another name and appear as if they are not going to stop there. This only judging by how many signings they’ve made in this January window.

Chris Wilder has injected more pace into his frontline with the signing of Richairo Zivkovic. He is a speedster and has a good eye for goal.
Whether or not he be able to apply the same quality in front of goal in the Premier League is yet to be seen. The most important attribute supporting him, he likes doing some defensive work and pressing from the front.
He is 23-years-old and has experience playing in Europe. He has previously been at Dutch giants Ajax (no surprise). The club he started off at. Hopefully, he can make an impact on the league and he is here to stay beyond the end of the 2020 campaign.
The Blades need firepower
The Blades have been phenomenal at the back and are joint second with Leicester and City in the Premier League for best defensive teams. Only Liverpool have conceded less and have collected more clean sheets.
But the real problem has been in front of goal. Sheffield has collected many 1-0 wins throughout the campaign. They have only scored 25 goals this season and are crying out for an out-and-out goalscorer.
"I'm hoping to score goals, help the team and get progress so we can get as high as possible"
