'The right place at the right time' - Auston Trusty reveals delight after sealing permanent move from Arsenal to Sheffield United

  • Trusty has signed with Sheffield United
  • Penned a four-year deal
  • Thrilled ahead of his new challenge

WHAT HAPPENED? The USMNT defender has penned a four-year deal with the Blades after joining for an undisclosed fee from the Gunners. He spent last season on loan at Birmingham City where he was a regular, making 44 starts.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Trust has now made another move and will be playing Premier League football next season after joining the newly-promoted Blades, signing a deal that will keep him at the club until 2027.

WHAT THEY SAID?: "I am more than excited. The opportunity to be here at this historic club, and an opportunity to play in the Premier League and show my ability, it is everything I could have ever dreamed of growing up as a kid. In Pennsylvania, this was a dream - almost an impossible dream but I believed in myself and the opportunity has come around, it is everything that I dreamed for," Trust told the club's official website.

"It is crazy how quick things happen in football. I have just come back from a US tour with Arsenal and a couple of days later I am sitting here doing this interview. Things did happen very quick, but that's how football works. I was really looking for an opportunity so as soon as it came about, things and details were ironed out. I am here, I wasn't wasting any time. Everything is coming to fruition for me. I am in the right place at the right time and in the right mindset. Everything has come together how I dreamed it," he added.
