Soccer-Jamaican striker Shelton joins Sheffield United

STOCKHOLM, Jan 15 - Jamaican striker Luton Shelton
will join English Premier League club Sheffield United for an
undisclosed sum, his Swedish first division club Helsingborg
announced on Monday.

The 21-year-old Shelton scored nine goals in 19
first-division matches last season during which Helsingborg
finished fourth in the league. In total, he has scored 17 goals
in 28 competitive matches.

The Jamaican would join his new club on Tuesday or
Wednesday, the local daily Helsingborgs Dagblad reported.

Shelton will be the third player from Helsingborg in recent
months to enter the Premier League after Henrik Larsson joined
Manchester United and Andreas Granqvist joined Wigan Athletic on
loan deals.
