These are your Swansea City headlines on Sunday, November 6.
Blades keen on Fer
Sheffield United are reportedly keen on bringing former Swansea midfielder Leroy Fer back to the Championship.
The Blades are flying high after their 5-2 win over league leaders Burnley on Saturday, a game which saw ex-Swans striker Oli McBurnie grab a brace.
And according to The Sun, United are keen on bolstering their midfield arsenal with McBurnie's old pal Fer.
Fer is currently plying his trade with Turkish side Alanyaspor, where he has been since last summer. The 32-year-old left Swansea on the expiration of his contract in 2019, joining first club Feyenoord for two seasons before moving to Turkey in the summer of 2021.

Fer has been capped 11 times for the Netherlands.
Proud moment - Lati
Joel Latibeaudiere says it was a proud moment to skipper Swansea against Wigan on Saturday, despite the nature of the game.
Swansea fell behind 2-0 early on at the Swansea.com Stadium to two set-piece goals before getting back into the tie just before half-time. A Joel Piroe penalty late in the day salvaged a point for Russell Martin's men.
And in the absence of the suspended Matt Grimes, Latibeaudiere took the armband on a day he will likely remember.
“It was a really proud moment,” said the 22-year-old.
“I just want to say thanks to the manager for choosing me. He had a word with me after the Preston game. He told me he wanted me to captain the team if it was OK with me, and I was delighted to have the opportunity to do so.
“No matter if I’ve got the armband or not, I feel like I’m really vocal on the pitch and I’m doing as much as I can to help the team. I’m trying to take up more of the role of a leader off the pitch as well.
“There’s a lot of people in the team who are growing into those roles now, but Grimesy [Grimes] is obviously our main leader, and he is the one that we look to when he’s on the pitch.”
Sanson involved
Morgan Sanson was included in Aston Villa's squad to face Manchester United on Sunday.
Sanson emerged as an unlikely transfer link with Swansea last month, as well as Championship rivals Sunderland and teams on the continent.
Having been frozen out under former boss Steven Gerrard, new Villa manager Unai Emery has wiped the slate clean with Sanson now afforded the opportunity to impress from the bench.
Swansea were linked with a loan move for the midfielder when the transfer window opens again in January, with the Frenchman already having a loan move to Spain break down last summer.
