He struggled during his first on the south coast, making just 11 appearances and failing to register a goal.<\/p>\n<p>Mousset&#8217;s first goal came during the 2017\/18 season. The Frenchman scored during Bournemouth&#8217;s FA Cup third-round tie against Wigan Athletic. However, he scored just two further goals during the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his time at Bournemouth, Mousset has spent the majority of his time on the substitute&#8217;s bench. It continued throughout the 2018\/19 season, as he made 23 appearances from the bench. His only goal came in his only start, during a 5-1 loss away to Arsenal.<\/p>\n<h3>How Will Lys Mousset Fit in at Sheffield United?<\/h3>\n<p>Manager Chris Wilder is keen to bolster his attack in a bid to survive in the Premier League. As a result, it is expected that he will be looking to add to his attacking options even after the signing of Mousset.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Frenchman&#8217;s experience as a top-flight striker puts him in good stead to be first choice under Chris Wilder. The Blades manager currently has <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e8c9f4e9\/Billy-Sharp\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Billy Sharp<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e75750a3\/Callum-Robinson\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Callum Robinson<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/dbe56a33\/David-McGoldrick\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">David McGoldrick<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/91c975a0\/Leon-Clarke\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leon Clarke<\/a> available. However, only Sharp and Robinson have played in the Premier League; making just six appearances between them.<\/p>\n<h3>More to Come at Bramall Lane?<\/h3>\n<p>According to Danny Hall of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.co.uk\/sport\/football\/sheffield-united\/latest-blades-news\/sheffield-united-chris-wilder-reveals-how-many-more-signings-he-hopes-to-make-before-start-of-premier-league-season-485356\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Star<\/a>, Chris Wilder is expecting four more signings to arrive at Bramall Lane before the start of the new campaign.<\/p>\n<p>One is expected to be goalkeeper <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e5a76dfe\/Dean-Henderson\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dean Henderson<\/a>, who spent last season on loan with the Blades.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"CrHFyHC2TuZ3qFgWDJK2zg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1138282318\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'CrHFyHC2TuZ3qFgWDJK2zg',sig:'_Y_Wag27NgWgPDjUf6Un6EBhxDKQXrDKpux0b-rsneA=',w:'594px',h:'386px',items:'1138282318',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the third time this summer, Premier League new boys Sheffield United have broken their transfer record.
