Swansea City transfer news as Leeds United want star and highly-rated talent confirms Swans move

Here's your round-up of all the latest Swansea City news for Monday, May 22.

Leeds eyeing up Manning

Leeds United are eyeing a move for Ryan Manning this summer.

The left-back's contract at the club is set to expire next month, and the Swans have already admitted that, as things stand, he will leave the club.

It's understood that situation is unlikely to change, with clubs further up the the Championship and in the Premier League already taking an interest.

Football League World has now claimed that one of those clubs is Leeds, adding they will be keen on a move for the Irishman regardless of whether they avoid relegation from the Premier League or not.

Following Sunday's 3-1 defeat at West Ham United, Leeds are currently two points from safety ahead of next weekend's final day.

Manning was recently named as the club's player of the season by supporters, but it's now unlikely he will say in SA1 beyond the end of his current deal.

Jersey boy joins

Swansea City have reportedly completed a move for highly-rated teenage striker Samuel Henia Kamau.

The 17-year-old is currently plying his trade for Jersey Bulls and is believed to have been watched by a number of Championship clubs, while Premier League side Fulham were also mentioned as possible suitors. However, it seems it's the Swans who have won the race for his signature. It seems likely he'll initially be part of the Swans academy set-up upon joining, although Swansea are yet to officially confirm the move.

The youngster told the Jersey Evening Post: “I’m honestly delighted to be given this opportunity. I want to thank all the people within the teams I have played for. All of my team-mates – they’ve all contributed to this opportunity, which I am delighted to have and I am really looking forward to. A lot of thanks have to also go to the coaches at the JFA Performance Centre, which I had seven great years playing in. Playing alongside the best players in the Island has enabled me to get to the level that I am now”

Premier League clubs chase Gyokeres

Brentford are reportedly hoping to swoop in for former Swansea City striker Viktor Gyokeres, but their hopes may depend on Coventry City failing in their bid to reach the Premier League.

The Sky Blues are set to take on Luton Town in the Championship play-off final this weekend, and Gyokeres will likely be at the heart of their hopes at Wembley, having scored 21 goals this season.

According to the Daily Mail, Brentford are among a number of top flight clubs taking an interest, with Everton, West Ham and Leeds United also linked.

The Bees believe the Swede could be the ideal man to fill in for Ivan Toney, who's been banned for eight months after he was found in breach of FA betting rules.

However, should Coventry go up, the suggestion is it could make a deal harder to do.
