Michael Obafemi has been a long-standing transfer target for Burnley

Burnley have completed the g of Michael Obafemi from fellow Championship club Swansea City.

The Republic of Ireland striker, 22, has moved to Turf Moor on loan for the rest of the season with a view to a permanent transfer in the summer.

He scored 15 goals in 52 appearances for the Swans, who signed him from Southampton in August 2021.

"I'm glad to be here. I am just glad that it's finally done now," Obafemi told Burnley's website.

The Championship leaders attempted to sign the Dubliner during the summer transfer window and maintained their interest.

He added: "When I first heard of Burnley's interest in the summer I was adamant to come here."
