Swansea City's summer took a potentially significant turn over the weekend.
After much speculation over possible departures, it appears Flynn Downes could well be on his way out of south Wales, with Crystal Palace understood to be leading the race for his signature. From a footballing perspective, it's undoubtedly a blow.
Downes, who only arrived at the club last summer, became a key component of Russell Martin's plans last season, and dazzled fans with a series of dominant performances in the middle of the park. His superb showing in the 4-0 demolition of bitter rivals Cardiff City back in April will, for many, be seen as a particularly memorable highlight.
