Sheffield United have seen a bid of £15m rejected by Swansea for striker Oli McBurnie, Sky Sports News understands.

McBurnie scored 22 league goals last season as Swansea finished 10th in the Sky Bet Championship.

The 23-year-old, who signed a three-year deal - with the option of a fourth year - last summer, scored in both of Swansea's victories over the Blades last season.

Sheffield United have already signed Callum Robinson for a club-record fee from Preston, as well as Luke Freeman and Phil Jagielka ahead of their return to the Premier League.

Swansea, meanwhile, are considering tabling a season-long loan offer to Chelsea for attacking midfielder Kasey Palmer, Sky sources understand.
