Swansea City, Burnley and Derby County are chasing Barnsley defender Andy Yiadom, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
The 25-year-old is regarded as one of the best defenders outside the Premier League after impressing for Barnsley last season as he helped the club consolidate in the Championship.
The pacy, attacking full-back was a regular for Barnsley in his debut season, making made 33 appearances last season before his campaign was cut short in April by a shoulder injury.

Yiadom’s impressive performances saw him rewarded with a call-up to the Ghana squad for January’s Africa Cup of Nations and he made his debut for the Black Stars in that tournament.
Yiadom is the modern-day full-back as he is equally adept at going forward as he is at defending and Premier League clubs have been keeping tabs on the former Barnet man.
Swansea and Burnley are admirers of Yiadom and they are both looking to bolster their full-back options this summer after securing Premier League survival.
Derby County are also tracking Yiadom and with the player entering the final year of his contract at Oakell, Barnsley are bracing themselves for offers for the defender this summer.
