Here’s your round-up of all the latest Swansea City news for Monday, May 12.
Clubs chase Yates
Swansea City striker Jerry Yates is reportedly attracting interest from a host of clubs ahead of the summer window.
According to Football Insider, Blackburn Rovers, Hull City, QPR, and two MLS clubs are all chasing the 28-year-old, who spent the season on loan at Derby County.
While there’s a growing feeling he will be allowed to leave should the right offer come in, WalesOnline understands Swansea hasn’t yet made a decision over the striker, who still has another year to run on his current deal with the Swans.
It remains to be seen whether Derby might come back in for Yates. Predecessor Paul Warne was believed to be a big fan of the former Blackpool man, but John Eustace is seemingly a little more undecided.
“I think Jerry has done very well – that is something we will discuss at the end of the year,” he said when recently quizzed on the player’s future.
Wales picks up award as Swans move looms
Bobby Wales has been named as Kilmarnock’s Young Player of the Year, with a move to Swansea City still firmly on the cards.
The 19-year-old picked up the award on Sunday, having started for the Scottish Premiership side in the 3-2 win over Dundee at the weekend.
Martin has been out of work since being sacked by Southampton in December but appears keen to get back into work, despite admitting to turning several jobs down already.
He told Match of the Day 2, “Yeah, I’m feeling it’s been a good time to reflect. A good break after 20 years or so of playing and then straight into management. Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here
“I think wherever I go next, whenever I go next, I’ll be much better for it.
“I think it’s really important. I think we’ve turned a few opportunities down because it just didn’t feel quite right. It’s about the opportunity it gives us, how we feel about it, the people you’re working for—all of it comes into account. And also the cultural context, the style of play that will fit, and how the work that we do will fit with the club.”
