Oli McBurnie: Sheffield United sign Swansea striker for club record £20m

Sheffield United have signed Scotland striker Oli McBurnie from Swansea City for a club record £20m.

The 23-year-old, who scored 24 goals in the Championship last season, has signed a four-year deal with the Premier League side.

It is the fourth time the Blades have broken their transfer record this summer following promotion.

“I’m confident he will be a tremendous success,” Blades boss Chris Wilder said.

“We need options at the top of the pitch and Oli, as anyone who has watched a significant amount of Championship football will tell you, offers plenty in that area.

“I’m delighted with the transfer business over the summer. Oli is a big piece of the jigsaw, and the squad is shaping up ready for what will be a long and demanding season.”
