Sunderland agreed a deal to sign Chelsea striker Mason Burstow<\/a> after fending off a late Swansea City hijack, sources have told Football Insider.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Black Cats announced<\/a> on Friday night shortly before the transfer deadline that the forward, 20, had completed a loan move from the London giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is believed that Sunderland only got the deal done after seeing off rival interest from Championship opponents Swansea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chelsea\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Both clubs are believed to have made loan offers for Burstow, while Blackburn Rovers also pushed hard for a deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young forward has made two appearances off the bench this season with cameos against West Ham and Luton Town in the Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Swans have already lost striker Joel Piroe to Leeds United in a \u00a312million move this summer, and Football Insider <\/strong>revealed on Thursday (31 August) that Blackburn are eyeing up a move for forward Liam Cullen.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Losing both strikers within one window would leave Michael Duff’s attacking department thin so Swansea are looking to bolster their squad through the arrival of Burstow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burstow burst into the first-team plans at Chelsea after a hugely successful 2022\/23 season where he scored 11 goals and registered four assists for the Blues’ youth side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has so far provided depth for first-choice striker Nicolas Jackson at Chelsea, but Christopher Nkunku’s return to fitness in a few months time could prove problematic for Burstow’s playing time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burstow joined Chelsea from Charlton Athletic in February 2022, before returning to the League One side on loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He scored six goals for Charlton’s first team in 23 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
