The saga of Michael Obafemi's future seems to have taken another turn as Championship leaders Burnley have now entered the race.
In what has been a difficult season for Michael Obafemi, with just three goals in 19 appearances, it looks as though his days at Swansea are numbered.
The Ireland striker has been left out of recent matchday squads, with the Swansea manager Russell Martin criticising him in recent press conferences.
It looked to bo so promising for Michael Obafemi after a great run of form to end last season, which was carried into his performances with Ireland. He has shown what he can do when confident and given the chance, but that hasn't happened enough this season.
However, his time in Wales now looks to be coming to a disappointing end.
Burnley Keen On Michael Obafemi
Despite his poor run of form at club level, championship leaders Burnley have now reportedly entered the race to sign Obafemi.
Vincent Kompany seems to be a big fan of the 22-year-old, with Swansea rejecting bids for him during the summer.
With it now looking more like 'when' rather than 'if' Michael Obafemi will leave Swansea, this could be the perfect move for him.
Under the former Manchester City centre-back, Burnley have completely transformed themselves as they look to be immediately prompted to the Premier League.
With Obafemi's Ireland teammate Josh Cullen key to their success, Burnley are currently five points clear of Sheffield United in second place, while also a massive 14 points clear of third place Blackburn.
Should he join, Michael Obafemi would be joining a side full of confidence, and that is exactly what he needs right now, and what Ireland also need ahead of March.
With the spectacular emergence of Evan Ferguson, Adam Idah returning to fitness and Chiedozie Ogbene linked with a move away, competition in Ireland's forward line is heating up.
