Ukaki linked up with the Blades from Bulgarian club Botev Plovdiv for an undisclosed fee. The move is subject to relevant documentation being approved.

The 20-year-old scored 7 times in 37 appearances across all competitions for Botev Plovdiv last season. United also signed another Nigerian Christian Nwachukwu from Botev Plovdiv in January.

A promising player who can operate on either flank in an attacking role or even as a right back, Ukaki is seen as a player for the future with much promise at a club known for developing talent.
