John Egan has targeted promotion to the Premier League with Sheffield United after becoming their record signing.
The Republic of Ireland defender moved to Bramall Lane from Brentford for £4m earlier in July.
Egan, who made 67 appearances in two seasons for the Bees, believes that the Blades can build on last season's 10th-place Championship finish and compete for a top-six spot.
"Everyone wants to get promoted and that was a big factor in my decision to come here," the 25-year-old told Sky Sports News.
"It's a really good opportunity for myself and hopefully we can be challenging at the top end of the table. The goal is promotion."
Egan had a spell at United earlier in his career, playing one game for the club while on loan from Sunderland in 2012.
