Leeds United have been linked with a move to re-sign defender Kyle Bartley from Swansea City.
Swansea City are continuing to battle against relegation to the Championship, but one player is being linked with a summer move to the second tier anyway.
The Swans sit just one point clear of the bottom three after a run of just two points in their last five games, and need a strong end to the season to guarantee their Premier League status.
One player who may not feature at all is defender Kyle Bartley, who has suffered a knee injury and may have actually played his final game for Swansea.
The Yorkshire Evening Post report that Leeds United are in talks to re-sign Bartley on a permanent basis this summer, having seen him thrive on loan at Elland Road last season.
New claims suggest no negotiations have taken place yet, but Bartley may be interested in a move back to West Yorkshire after making just five Premier League appearances this season.
The 26-year-old centre back hasn’t quite managed to establish himself since signing from Arsenal in 2012, and a move to Leeds may give him a chance to prove himself on a regular basis after a frustrating time in South Wales.
Swansea fans have now taken to Twitter in order to react to the rumours over Bartley’s future, with many suggesting that the Swans should let him go, urging him to move on and end his disappointing Swansea career.
Most think that a move would benefit all parties, allowing Jordi Amat to return from Real Betis as a first-team player next season, with one fan joking that if Leeds love Bartley so much, then Swansea should demand £15million for the centre back.
