Sheffield United have confirmed the departure of Bénie Traoré with the striker joining FC Basel for an undisclosed fee.
The 21 year old joined the Blades from BK Hacken last summer under Paul Heckingbottom and made just nine appearances before going out on loan for the second half of the season with Nantes.
Traoré began his career in his native Ivory Coast with ASEC Mimosas before securing a move to Swedish side Hacken.
