Kyle Bartley played on loan for Leeds United from Swansea City last season.
Kyle Bartley was one of Leeds United’s best players last season and was a rock at the back for the West Yorkshire outfit.
The 26-year-old defender formed a formidable partnership with Pontus Jansson at the back for Leeds and was a key reason behind the Whites’ success in the Championship.
Leeds are interested in securing the services of the former Arsenal prospect in the summer transfer window, according to The Yorkshire Evening Post, but they are unlikely to get it done anytime soon.
Bartley is part of the Swansea squad for the upcoming 10-day USA tour as part of their pre-season preparations, as announced on the Premier League club’s official website.
It is clear that Swansea manager Paul Clement rates the defender and considers him part of his plans for now.
Clement probably wants to see how good the defender is and how he can contribute to his side, as pre-season preparations get into full swing.
This means that Leeds will have to wait a little longer to know for sure if they will get to sign the former Arsenal man this summer.
