Ben Brereton’s promising career in Europe suffered a serious blow this Saturday. His team, Sheffield United, confirmed his relegation to the Championship next season, after a disastrous Premier League campaign.
The Chilean could do little, since he arrived in the winter market from Villarreal, to change the fortunes of his team, although his contribution has been exceptional. An example was the goal he scored against Manchester United this week, and the five goals he has scored in ten games in the Premier League.
However, the team did not help much and the defense became the worst enemy. Today they scored a new 5-1 win against Newcastle that ended the season. In total they already have 97 goals against, being the worst record in the history of the league and surpassing Derby in 2007-08.
But it’s not all bad for Brereton. His return to England, after a bad start in Spain, confirmed that he has the level to continue in the most important league in the world or, in the worst case, have a second chance at Villarreal.
“What we were looking for with the loan was the impact that a good performance in the Premier League could give. “The idea is for Brereton to return next summer and earn Marcelino’s trust in the preseason to get a place in the Villarreal squad,” declared his representative Fede Marco on Cadena Ser
