Sheffield Utd closing on deal for Swansea striker Oliver McBurnie

Sheffield United are closing on a deal for Swansea City striker Oliver McBurnie.

The Sun says McBurnie is the next to arrive at Bramall Lane after talks stepped up over his £18million move from Swansea.

Blades boss Chris Wilder has already signed Lys Mousset for £10million from Bournemouth but still wants McBurnie's firepower for the Premier League.

The 23-year-old scored 24 goals in the Championship last season and Wilder reckons he will make the step up to the top flight.

Wilder has just completed the season-long loan signing of keeper Dean Henderson from Manchester United and bought midfielder Ben Osborn for £3.5million from Nottingham Forest.
