Palace and are seen as one of the favourites for relegation this season hence their desire to strengthen their squad.<\/p>\n<p>It has been suggested though that their move for Archer is complicated by the fact that Aston Villa want a buyback clause as part of an agreement and that would be on top of the big fee that they want now.<\/p>\n<p>The same report suggests that they will turn their attention to Piroe who, as we know, has been subject to pretty extensive speculation around a move away already this summer.\u00a0 \u00a0With his contract due to expire next summer, the Swans have tentatively opened discussions over a potential new deal which would at least protect his value if nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>With the transfer window now having a little over two weeks to run, options for all clubs are starting to run down and the Blades will definitely be looking to wrap up a deal for at least one new striker before the window closes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty aligncenter\"><a

striker on their books already in Oli McBurnie, who has also been the subject of speculation this summer already after never really being a constant success since making his move North back in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Could it be that somewhere in the middle of all of this there is a potential deal to be had that could include some level of return to SA1 for McBurnie who was our leading scorer in the Championship under Potter?\u00a0 \u00a0As unlikely as it may seem it could give the Blades enough leverage to make some level of deal happen?\u00a0 \u00a0Or is that nothing more than wishful thinking.<\/p>\n<p>The most likely outcome appears to be they complete the deal for Archer but these are the closing stages of a transfer window and anything could happen as that deadline gets closer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-84728\" src=\"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Piroe-Blades.jpg\" alt=\"\"
