Sheffield United have bolstered their defensive ranks with the arrival of Arsenal defender Auston Trusty. The 24-year-old has joined on a permanent transfer for a fee believed to be in the region of £5m. Trusty now has the chance to realise his dream of playing Premier League football following his move to Sheffield United and he is understandably delighted to make the switch. After putting pen to paper on his transfer,
Auston Trusty 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. 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.”
