Cameron Archer - Returns to Aston Villa Archer has transferred back to Aston Villa from Sheffield United due to the terms of his contract, according to his club.

Impact Archer only spent one season with Sheffield United before he has been forced to return to Aston Villa. This happened due to a term in the initial transfer agreement last summer, as it was noted that if Sheffield got relegated, Aston Villa would be forced to buy the player back, and that has come to fruition after the Blades' 20th-place finish. It will not be interesting to see what role he holds with Villa next campaign, as he is likely to mainly serve off the bench. He finishes his time at Sheffield starting in 21 of his 29 appearances, notching four goals on 42 shots and one assist on 24 chances created.

Impact Watkins came off the bench, as he has throughout the Euros and scored an absolutely beautiful winner on the spin.
