Japhet has been the record transfer of the season in the Championship, for an overall amount leading to £10m; making him by far the most payed Center-back in the League for years. His season started so well that he has been promoted Captain of the squad as soon as Wilder returned back to the Blades.

His charisma, his pure speed, his aggressive style of playing, make him one of the best modern defenders around; Antonio Conte, one of the World’s best managers, defined his aerial ability as  ” one of the top 10 in the World “.

Japhet brings to Sheffield United also his baggage of experience from the Premier League and Champions League, where he previously performed with Tottenham.

The Blades are looking to come up back to the Prem also thanks to him.
