Confirmation has come this afternoon from Sheffield United, who have confirmed that Norwood has arrived at Bramall Lane, initially on-loan, before that deal will be made permanent in the January.

Discussing Norwood with Andy Giddings from BBC Sheffield, Wilder also revealed it was a good deal for the club to complete financially:

The Blades have started the season in sloppy form, but did manage to pick up their first victory of the campaign on Saturday, as goals from Billy Sharp and David McGoldrick secured a 2-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers.

Attention will now turn to the Carabao Cup, with Wilder’s side taking on Hull City.

Discussing Norwood with Giddings, Wilder revealed that the midfielder will be involved against the Tigers.
