SHEFFIELD UNITED boss Chris Wilder is snapping up Dutch striker Richairo Zivkovic in a surprise deal.
The Blades chief is adding to his Premier League high fliers by signing the former Ajax Amsterdam talent who is playing in China.

Zivkovic, 23, flew in for talks and a medical ahead of a move from Changchun Yatai where he was in prolific form in his debut season.
Blades are beating Galatasaray and even former club Ajax in the chase after Zivkovic scored a dozen goals in just 19 games in China.
The tall attacker will fill the gap left by Callum Robinson’s departure for West Brom.
And gives Wilder new variety in his front line.
Zivkovic came through the ranks of the national youth aides in Holland.
He was capped at under-21 level before heading to the Far East.
Sheffield United have already made two additions to their squad this transfer window.
They moved to bring in ex-England international Jack Rodwell on a free transfer following a trial.
And defender Jack Robinson moved to Bramall Lane from Nottingham Forest.
