He significantly scored the decisive goal in the Plovdiv derby against Lokomotiv in December.
“Ehije is a player we’ve pinpointed through our analytics-based approach, and we are eager to nurture his potential,” said Blades manager Chris Wilder on the club’s website.
“He’s a rising star, still just 20, who has already gained some experience in European football at the start of his journey, providing a solid foundation to build upon.”
