Swansea City talent Oli McBurnie, who has been linked with Sunderland and Rangers, is set to join Championship side Barnsley on loan.

McBurnie has been expected to leave Swansea on a loan deal before the transfer window slams shut as the Swans look to provide him with playing time for the second half of the campaign.




The attacker, a boyhood Rangers fan, was linked with moving to link up with Graeme Murty's men as a potential replacement for Alfredo Morelos, who himself has been linked with a move.

Championship side Sunderland were also in the mix for McBurnie.
 


But according to the BBC, the Swansea man is set for Barnsley.
