Swansea City stand firm and insist latest Burnley bid for Michael Obafemi falls way short of valuation

Swansea City insist Burnley remain well short of their valuation for striker Michael Obafemi.

The Clarets have had a second bid for the forward rejected on transfer deadline day having had a previous offer turned down prior to the 1-1 draw with Stoke City.

And despite a package worth up to £8m with add-ons being offered by Vincent Kompany's men for Obafemi on the final day of the summer window, the Swans have stood firm.
