Swansea City will reportedly land Kristoffer Peterson following McBurnie’s £20m move to Sheffield United.

The Swansea City striker, Oli McBurnie, has travelled north for a medical at Sheffield United, according to the Sun.

The newspaper claims McBurnie will also put the final touches to a deal which will see Swansea receive £20 million up front and a further £3m in add-ons.

The 23-year-old scored 22 goals for the Welsh side last season – a haul which saw him find the net once in each encounter with Sheffield United.

And it seems the Blades will now smash their club-record outlay for a fourth time since their promotion back to the Premier League.

Some of that money is already in the process of being spent by Swansea, according to reports in Sweden.

Expressen claims the Championship side will complete the signing of Heracles Almelo’s versatile attacking midfielder, Kristoffer Peterson, next week.

It is said that Peterson, who scored or made 17 goals in the Netherlands top flight last season, will cost the Swans SEK 10 million (around £860,000).

The Swede had also been linked with moves to AEK Athens and Fenerbahce.
