Kasey Palmer is hoping a season at Swansea City can put him on the club’s fast-track back to the Premier League. The winger – on loan from Bristol City – is set for his first start this evening at Coventry City after making his Swans debut during last weekend’s 2-1 home defeat to Huddersfield. Palmer, 23, came through the ranks at Chelsea before loan spells at Huddersfield, Derby, Blackburn and Bristol City, with the Robins eventually paying £3.5m to take him to Ashton Gate just over a year ago.

Steve Cooper has revealed he played no role in the talks that ended with Swansea City selling Joe Rodon to Tottenham for just an initial £11m. The Swansea head coach was reacting after seeing his team – without Rodon for the first time – lose their unbeaten start to the Championship season as they crashed 2-1 at home to Huddersfield. Cooper said Rodon came to see him on Thursday after returning from Wales duty and told him he would be keen to join Spurs if a deal could be done.

By Paul Jones Steve Cooper has told Swansea City they must not sell Joe Rodon on the cheap and suggested £25m should be the going rate. The Swans head coach is bracing himself for a firm offer from Tottenham before Friday’s transfer deadline after background moves from the Premier League club calculated to turn the […]

Jamal Lowe has urged his team-mates not to throw away their good start when Swansea City resume their Championship campaign on Saturday. Fourth-placed Swans resume after the international break by entertaining 19th placed Huddersfield before making the trip next Tuesday to Coventry City who are 18th.

Swansea City skipper Matt Grimes believes the squad is maturing all the time as they look to maintain their impressive start to the Championship season. The Swans have picked up 10 points from the first four games with the only points dropped the home draw with Birmingham.

Ben Cabango has been backed to pass another examination tonight – the Harry Kane test. The 20-year-old defender has already graduated from Newport County’s academy to the Championship with Swansea City, via the Cymru Premier League with The New Saints. Cabango has even managed to squeeze in his first international cap –earned as an 89th minute substitute in the 1-0 victory over Finland at the start of September – even though he is little more than a year into his senior Swans career.

Viktor Gyokeres intends to follow the Rhian Brewster route of using a loan spell at Swansea City as a springboard back into the Premier League. Swedish international Gyokeres made his debut for the Swans on Saturday when he came off the bench during the club’s encouraging 2-1 win at home to Millwall. Back at the end of last season, manager Steve Cooper had hoped to extend Brewster’s stay with another loan but the Liverpool striker’s impact at Swansea – where he scored 11 goals in 22 appearances – eventually led to a £23.5m move to Sheffield United.

Steve Cooper has defended Andre Ayew after Millwall manager Gary Rowett accused the Ghana striker of “embarrassing” behaviour. The flash point came during Swansea City’s 2-1 victory at the Liberty Stadium, which Cooper described as a “men’s performance” as his club stayed among the early season Championship pacesetters. Defenders Jake Bidwell and Ben Cabango scored second-half goals as Swansea made it 10 points from four Sky Bet Championship games and ended Millwall’s unbeaten league record.

Marc Guehi is showing Premier League class defending for Swansea at present and it’s no surprise given who is smoothing his path. The Swans centre-back has been in outstanding form after Chelsea legend Claude Makelele had a word in the youngster’s ear and further advice from Carlo Cudicini. Both men agreed Swansea is the perfect place to help the young on-loan Blues defender realise his dream of one day becoming a regular in Frank Lampard’s senior side at Stamford Bridge.

Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres is set for an immediate debut against Millwall after joining Swansea City on a season-long loan from Brighton. The 22-year-old is confident he can make an impact – and plans on starting against the Lions at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.

Morgan Gibbs-White was so determined to become a footballer he’d infuriate his teachers by kicking a ball in the school corridors between lessons. It inevitably led to a few detentions for the Swansea City loan star from Wolves who marked his league debut with the winner at Preston on the opening day of the season.

Former Swansea City loan star Rhian Brewster is poised to sign for Sheffield United in a £23.5million deal from Liverpool. So what will Sheffield United get for their money as they look to stay in the Premier League after a disappointing start to the season. This is what Steve Cooper said about Brewster who was […]
