Swansea City transfer news as Man City starlet still on Martin's radar and Joe Allen likely to be miss out for Wales

Here's your round-up of the latest Swansea City headlines for Wednesday, June 8.

Marsh a fan of Rogers

Swansea City are yet to make any move for Manchester City starlet Morgan Rogers, but sources in the north-west claim he's a player that could still be on the radar this summer.

Reports linking the Swans with a loan move for the 19-year-old first emerged towards the end of May, and WalesOnline has since been told that Swansea's new head of football operations, Jack Marsh, is an admirer of the forward and looked into signing the teenager when he was at Huddersfield Town.

Marsh took his current role at the Swansea.com Stadium last week and will hope to aid Russell Martin in his bid to strengthen the Swans squad ahead of next season.

Arsenal youngster Remy Mitchell is still expected to be Swansea's first arrival of the summer, but it's likely that the club will need to secure a departure or two before they can move for other targets.

Allen out of Netherlands game

Swansea City target Joe Allen is set to sit out tonight's UEFA Nations League clash with the Netherlands.

The midfielder, who played the full 90 minutes of his side's sensational 1-0 win over Ukraine on Sunday, isn't expected to be included in the 23-man squad for tonight's clash, with Neco Williams, Oliver Denham, Kieffer Moore and Aaron Ramsey also poised to miss out.

It's understood Allen is likely to decide his club future when he returns from international duty later this summer, with Stoke City having already held talks with his representatives over a new deal.

At the time of writing, there hasn't yet been any concrete approach from the Swans, although Russell Martin has previously admitted that the veteran is a player he'd like to have on board.

There's also believed to be interested from two Premier League clubs, believed to be Bournemouth and Fulham, as well as from abroad and elsewhere in the Championship.

Congreve strikes twice for young Dragons

Swansea City youngster Cameron Congreve netted twice for Wales-18s against Croatia on Tuesday.

The young Dragons are currently playing out a friendly tournament in Zagreb, and brushed aside their hosts in a 4-2 win.

Congreve struck with two sensational first-half freekicks, while there were also strikes from Chris Popov and Morgan Wigley after half-time.

Wales play England on Friday.
