Rangers have been in touch with Swansea City for the signature of Scotland Under-21 striker Oliver McBurnie on a loan deal, according to the Scottish Sunday Mail.

The Glasgow giants have already signed five players this winter, four of them on loan, and Graeme Murty has hinted that he wants more business done on deadline day.




Rangers are in the market for a striker and the club are looking at the Premier League to find a solution on the last day of the January transfer window.

Swansea City striker McBurnie has emerged as a target for Rangers today and they are in talks with the Welsh club to sign him on a loan deal, but face competition from English Championship club Sunderland. 
 


A highly rated young striker at Swansea, the Welsh club are keen to loan him out in order to provide him more minutes on the pitch and aid his development.

A Scotland Under-21 international, McBurnie is claimed to be a boyhood Rangers fan, and may well agree to Ibrox a move if the two clubs can work out an agreement in the remaining hours of the window.

But Sunderland are also keen on McBurnie and are eyeing him to boost their chances of survival in the Championship.

Murty and the Rangers recruitment team have worked hard to strengthen the squad despite budgetary constraints this month and it seems a sixth player could enter their building before the end of the day.

McBurnie has scored ten goals for the Swansea reserves this season but is yet to find the back of the net in eleven Premier League appearances.
