Swansea City have rejected two bids for striker Michael Obafemi.
The forward has struggled to hit the levels he reached in the latter stages of his debut campaign at the club last time out and has been told he can leave the Swansea.com Stadium this month.
And it's understood Burnley have had two offers for the Republic of Ireland international knocked back by the Swans.

Vincent Kompany's side were keen to recruit the forward in the summer and had multiple offers for the frontman turned down by the Swans.
Despite currently being firmly on course to secure automatic promotion back into the Premier League, the Clarets remain eager to bolster their forward options in the January transfer window.
WalesOnline revealed earlier this month that Obafemi once again features on the Turf Moor outfit's transfer wishlist.
And it's understood Swansea have turned down a bid worth around £2.5m from the Championship leaders for the services of the 22-year-old while they have also rejected the advances of one club for the services of Morgan Whittaker.
"We've made two bids for a player that's not quite there," said Martin when asked if Swansea need to sell before buying this month. "Things have stalled a bit since then because both clubs are trying to get the best deal.
"We've also had bids for two of our players in Michael and Morgan. We've knocked two bids back for Michael. One for Morgan.
"That's where we're at. But we made the bid for the player we are interested in before those bids came in. It's all about seeing which one lands first, whether we land our one first or someone leaves here first.
"Then again, none of it might happen. It's January. I just can't give you any clarity on it at the moment."
Obafemi has not played since turning out for his country during the World Cup break in a 2-1 friendly defeat at home to Norway.
He has been omitted from the Swans' previous five matchday squads and has been told he can leave the club before the 11pm deadline on January 31. Obafemi has made 19 appearances for Swansea in the Championship this season, scoring three goals.
As for Whittaker, he scored nine times and registered seven assists during the first half of the season at Plymouth Argyle before being recalled earlier this month.
Given the possible departures of the duo, Swansea are bidding to improve their attacking options, with Rotherham United's Chiedozie Ogbene and Leeds United's Joe Gelhardt being among those who Russell Martin admires at present.
