Swansea have shown some improvement since the turn of the year, and a number of players have certainly stepped up to the mark for Graham Potter's side heading towards the conclusion of this year's campaign. 

One man that has been in impressive form for the Swans recently is Oli McBurnie, who took his goal tally to 21 for the season with a brace in the win over Rotherham on Good Friday.

In an interview with Wales Online, McBurnie has admitted that he is keen to see the club keep hold of their best young players with the transfer window edging closer to reopening.

"I’ve told the boys they have to stay here.

"When you have good young players who are performing well there is going to be interest and rumours, but all the boys are focused on finishing this season as strong as possible."

McBurnie also praised team-mate, Daniel James for his recent run of form, and is expecting further interest in him in the summer, after his move to Leeds fell through on Deadline Day in January.

"If you look at the way DJ (James) has been playing he’s been untouchable which will always get noticed. It’s down to the club.

McBurnie called on Swansea to keep their best players to progress as a club, despite the interest that is likely to come in the summer for a number of players who have been impressive this season.

"If the club wants to keep going forward it has to keep its best young players. That’s vital at any club.

"There are boys who have been performing outstandingly which means they will naturally attract interest.

Swansea are next in action when they take on Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Monday, in a game where they will be expected to pick up another three points.

The Verdict: 

He's spot on.

Swansea have had some excellent players come through the club in recent years, and the likes of Daniel James have got a bright future ahead of them.

The club will surely be doing everything they can to keep hold of them for as long as possible to further their ambitions.
