Leeds have comfirmed interest in Barnsley's on loan striker Oli McBurnie. The 21 year old has scored 8 goals in 12 starts for Barnsley and reports today suggest he is wanting to join us for free in the summer. Phil Hay has confirmed today that he is a target and PH wants him.
Not seen him play, but seems on paper a potentially decent signing. Your thoughts?

Won't be a 'free' then as the OP says.
Unless Swansea want shut of him.

Roberts contract was allowed to run out and rangers could have nabbed him for peanuts due to a country change ruling, so WBA sold him to us for a few million and cheesed there fans off

Having said that the Swansea site says he signed an extension in 2016 but just about every other site/peper, etc says it runs out 31/05/2018.
I would tend to trust the Swansea site over these few:

The Scottish Sun even has him signing an extension in 2016 and now his deal ending this summer. Just goes to show how good the sports pages are!

Gonna be a battle for his signature this summer.
Really hope we get him,
His finishing has been great for Barnsley and at only 21 plenty time to get even better.
Much rather have him than grot, ekuban or lasogga.
