Scotland striker Oli McBurnie 'to become £20m English Premier League player this week' as Sheffield Utd move edges closer
Swansea and Scotland striker Oli McBurnie looks set to become an English Premier League player this week.
The hitman, 23, will reportedly complete a medical with newly-promoted Sheffield United in a deal that could reach £20m.
Rangers-daft McBurnie scored 22 goals for the Swans last season in 42 league matches in the Championship.
And Blades manager Chris Wilder appears certain that the Scot can do the business as he attempts to keep United in the top flight next season.
It is understood Swansea will receive £17m up front with add-ons that could rocket through Sheffield United's record signing fee.
They have already signed Dean Henderson and Ben Osborn in a rebuilding job to tackle the Prem this season.
