'We'll have to sell' - Russell Martin's blunt statement over Swansea City stars amid Leeds United and Leicester City interest

Russell Martin admits it's inevitable that Swansea City will sell players this summer as the club bid to plug a financial gap.

The likes of Joel Piroe, Flynn Downes, Ben Cabango and Michael Obafemi are expected to attract interest in the transfer market as a result of their efforts under the current coaching regime this season. Top scorer Piroe - who has 24 goals to his name - is being closely monitored by Leicester City while Downes has received interest from Leeds United.

It comes as the club confirmed a pre-tax loss in their latest financial accounts, with Swansea no longer receiving Premier League parachute payments. You can read the full story on the accounts here. And head coach Martin says the documents published on Companies House serve as proof that departures are required.
