Diaz impressed during a loan spell in the Premier League at Sheffield United last term.

"I'm absolutely buzzing. It’s been smooth these past couple of days, and I’m happy to get everything sorted and signed," he said.

"I’m really excited to meet everyone - it’s great to be involved with this great club.

“Watching the club when I was younger, it was always in the Premier League. Everything has aligned together and I think it’s an amazing club. I can’t wait to get started.”
