Striker’s New Horizon
In a significant career move, Scottish striker Oli McBurnie is on his way to Spain to finalise his transfer to Las Palmas following his departure from Sheffield United. After the Blades’ drop from the top flight, McBurnie was released and is now poised to start afresh in the Canary Islands.
Deal Struck with Las Palmas
At 28, McBurnie has found a swift resolution to his free agency, with an agreement in place between him and Las Palmas. The club is preparing for his arrival, with a medical already scheduled to ensure the forward is ready to join their ranks for the upcoming season.
McBurnie’s Sheffield Legacy
Despite Sheffield United’s struggles, which ultimately led to their relegation, McBurnie made notable contributions during his tenure. Last season, he netted six goals, including a dramatic last-minute leveller against Chelsea. His overall record for the club stands at 29 goals and seven assists across 159 appearances since his move from Swansea City in 2019.
Sheffield United’s Rebuilding Phase
With ambitions of a Premier League return, Sheffield United are reshaping their squad, having already secured the signature of Callum O’Hare. McBurnie’s exit is part of a wider exodus from Bramall Lane, with several players moving on as part of the club’s restructuring efforts.
Las Palmas’ Survival and Ambition
Las Palmas, having narrowly escaped relegation themselves last season, are looking to bolster their squad to avoid a repeat of the previous campaign’s struggles. McBurnie’s experience in England could prove invaluable as they aim to climb the La Liga table and secure a more comfortable position.
