Swansea City manager Russell Martin has admitted they may need to sell players in the summer amid reported interest from Leeds United in Flynn Downes. The Whites have reportedly placed Downes on the list of potential midfield targets in the summer after his strong season at the Swans.
The 23-year-old made the move to South Wales from Ipswich Town last summer and has appeared 36 times for the Swans in his first season at the club. In their latest financial accounts, Swansea confirmed a pre-tax loss as a result of their parachute payments coming to an end.
And in order to balance the books, key players will have to move on and Downes is among a crop of players also including top scorer Joel Piroe who has already been linked with other clubs. Speaking to Wales Online ahead of their final Championship game of the season, Martin admitted some will have to be sold in order to meet the owners’ demands.
