Eddie Gray has spoken highly of reported Leeds United target and Swansea City-owned Barnsley striker Oliver McBurnie to LUTV.

McBurnie, who joined Barnsley on loan from Swansea City in the January transfer window, will feature against Leeds at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

Former Leeds winger and manager Gray has praised the 21-year-old former Bradford City striker.

Gray told LUTV about McBurnie: “He has scored a few vital goals. He pushes himself about, makes it difficult for defenders. He will be wanting to put his mark in the game, especially here at Elland Road.”

At Leeds United next season?

McBurnie has been linked with a move to Leeds in the summer transfer window.

According to a recent report in The Scottish Sun, the Scotland international striker wants to join the Whites at the end of the season.

The Daily Mail has claimed that Leeds are ready to make a move for the Scotland international in the summer transfer window.

The youngster has scored eight goals in 12 Championship starts for Barnsley since his loan switch from Swansea in the January transfer window.

McBurnie has proved that he can be successful in the Championship, and it would be wise of Leeds to snap him up in the summer transfer window.
