Swansea City striker subject of another bid from Sheffield United

Sheffield United have made another bid for Swansea City striker Oli McBurnie according to BBC Sport.

The Blades recently had a bid of around £15million rejected for the Scottish international but they have now returned with a fee closer to around £20million which would break their transfer record for a fourth time this summer.

The 23-year-old has kept his head down whilst with the Welsh club but a move is looking increasingly likely as United boss Chris Wilder appears determined to get the man he has been chasing for the majority of the summer.

Swansea are facing some financial restrictions following their relegation from the Premier League last summer and they are now ‘seriously considering’ the offer made by Sheffield United as they look to balance their books.

Head coach Steve Cooper admitted “anything is possible” regarding McBurnie following Saturday’s 2-1 pre-season victory over Atalanta.

“Anything is possible, but until such time as I hear differently we’ll be preparing with Oli for Hull. He’s a really good player and just as good a person. As far I’m concerned it’s business as usual and we keep working with him.”

Should the move progress and McBurnie moves to Bramall Lane, the Swans will be determined to get the deal done as soon as possible with the Championship season only five days away.

They will be eager to find a replacement for a player who scored the main bulk of the goals in the previous campaign.

Sheffield United are looking to increase their options in attacking areas and a promising, young player like McBurnie would certainly help their cause as they look to survive in the Premier League.
