Lee Williamson’s drawn-out transfer to Sheffield United has finally be completed for an undisclosed fee believed to be around £500,000.
Williamson’s transfer to Bramall Lane has been on the cards for a couple of weeks but has not been completed as the midfielder was out of the country on his holidays.
Watford CEO Julian Winter confirmed Williamson was keen to move to United regardless of who the new Hornets’ manager would be.
Williamson, who had a year left on his contract, was a first team regular at Vicarage Road in the first half of the season but fell out of favour with Brendan Rodgers and was loaned out to Preston North End, who were also interested in his signature.
