Thursday, 26th Jan 2023 10:34 by Swansea Independent

Burnley have agreed a loan deal with Swansea City for Michael Obafemi. The overall figures equate to around four million pounds for the player.

The furore caused by the player has enabled him to secure a move to Burnley which hopefully is the start of some real transfer business by the Swans. There are a few things to straighten out after more discussions today and although it’s speculation away from Swansea independent it seems a medical will go ahead today.

Bank securities have been agreed for the payments for Obafemi who is now officially a Burnley player. The fee reported is around four million pounds, and there are some clauses to be finalised but they will be nothing unusual in todays climate regards football transfers. This also gives the Swans opportunity now to pursue players prior to the deadline on Tuesday.

The coaching staff will breath a huge sigh of relief if the final knockings of this ridiculous saga can be brought to a conclusion today. Obafemi has been problematic since arriving at the club as Burnley will soon find out. His fifty one appearances for the Swans will soon be forgotten if the club can do some business on the back of todays news. There are other targets to conclude and we expect a flurry of rumours and speculation with five days of the window to go.

Chiedozie Ogbene must now surely be the priority for Swansea City.
