Ben Brereton Diaz makes assured claim about joining Sheffield United | OneFootball

Ben Brereton Diaz has returned to Sheffield United on loan. The Southampton star claimed it was a "no brainer" to re-join his former club.

Southampton signed Ben Brereton Diaz in the summer transfer window. However, he was one of those players who was signed without any real understanding about why from the Southampton owners.

Naturally, when Southampton clinched promotion back to the Premier League, the panic started to set-in after the jubilation. Therefore, the Saints deemed it best to sign a handful of players without doing too much research into them. Unfortunately, Brereton Diaz was one of them.

Now, the Chile international has returned to his former club Sheffield United, where he initially made a name for himself in England.

In his own words, Brereton Diaz said: "For me personally, with a young family back in Southampton, I didn't want to go somewhere else unfamiliar, but most importantly, I know what the gaffer and his staff are about, and I've been delighted to see the team doing so well this season, for me, it was a no-brainer to come back."
