Sheffield United's new record signing Sander Berge says boss Chris Wilder was the main reason for his move to Bramall Lane.

The 21-year-old, who has already won 20 caps for Norway, has completed a £22m move from Genk on a four-and-a-half-year deal.

And although Berge has widely been linked with a host of Premier League clubs in recent months, including Tottenham, West Ham and Burnley, the Norwegian insists South Yorkshire was always his first-choice destination.

Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports News, Berge said: "It's fantastic to be here - the club really showed they wanted me.

"Chris Wilder was the main reason I decided to join the club, I've been admiring the team and how they play for a long time now.

"It's a system that will fit me well and it's how [Wilder] handles the squad and the dressing room.

"I'm hoping to get as much playing time as possible and looking forward to contributing to as many wins as possible."
