Oliver McBurnie has been linked with a move to Leeds United. Sunderland should consider making a move as well.

Paul Clement, Manager of Swansea City adjusts his suit during the Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Swansea City at Selhurst Park on August 26, 2017 in London, England.

Swansea City, like so many other Premier League clubs, are expected to remain busy on the transfer deadline day, with Paul Clement looking to bring in new faces as well as shipping out a few players.

One of them could be the highly rated Olivier McBurnie.

The Scotland Under-21 international has featured in all three Premier League fixtures so far this season, but with the imminent arrival of Wilfried Bony, the 21-year-old could be allowed to leave on loan.

McBurnie is a highly talented striker but at this moment he cannot get first-team football week in and week out at Swansea.

According to The Sun, Leeds United are interested in signing McBurnie in the summer transfer window.

The West Yorkshire outfit want the 21-year-old striker as a replacement for Chris Wood, who joined Burnley this summer.

Leeds have signed Jay-Roy Grot from NEC Nijmegen last week, but one feels that more attacking options are needed.

With this in mind, Sunderland should make a late move for McBurnie on the deadline day.

The Black Cats are on a tight budget at the moment, and loan signings are their best options at the moment.

Simon Grayson needs to bring in quality players, and especially needs to bolster the attacking department.

McBurnie would be a superb signing for the Black Cats. They can give him regular first team exposure to help him grow as a player.

With time running out, Sunderland should move ahead of Leeds or other potential suitors to snap him up before the window slams shut.
