Swansea City's Oliver McBurnie could be set to leave the Liberty Stadium this month, but only if boss Carlos Carvalhal can secure a replacement beforehand.

It's understood that McBurnie has attracted the interest of several clubs from the Championship in this window, with Barnsley and Aston Villa among the names mentioned.

The 21-year-old was due to spend the season on loan at Oakwell after seemingly completing a deal in the summer, only for the move to fall through due a missing signature on the necessary paperwork.

He has subsequently settled well into the club's under-23s set-up, while also earning himself some regular first team action, making his first Premier League start in the recent heavy defeat to Lilverpool.

Swansea are interested in strengthening their attacking options this January as they bid to give their top flight survival hopes a boost, and the capture of a new recruit would surely increase the likelihood of McBurnie leaving the Lilberty Stadium.

One of those potential options could well be Porto striker Vincent Aboubakar, who's reportedly been a target for the Swans for some time.

According to O Jogo, Swansea scouts were in attendance to watch Porto's game with Vitoria de Guimaraes, with the Cameroonian getting himself on the scoresheet in a 4-2 win.

Swansea scouts were also reportedly in attendance for Benfica's 2-0 win away to Moreirense, despite Carlos Carvalhal appearing to suggest that Portugal was not a market that they would be looking at.

While talk surrounding Aboubakar continues to grow, the link to Newcastle United striker Aleksandar Mitrovic looks increasingly tenuous.

SkyBet have continued to place the Swans among the front-runners for the Serb's signature, but reports in the north east have suggested that a move abroad looks the more likely option.

Meanwhile, a deal for Fulham full-back Ryan Fredericks looks set to be edging closer, with Guardian journalist Ed Aarons suggesting that the deal is set to be completed, despite an offer from Stoke City.
