Swans transfer news as striker backed for rival move and target gets offer

THESE ARE THE SWANSEA CITY STORIES MAKING HEADLINES ON TUESDAY, MAY 20 16:02, 20 May 2025 The latest Swansea City headlines on Tuesday, May 20. PRUTTON: QPR MOVE WOULD BE GOOD FOR YATES Sky

Sports pundit David Prutton believes Swansea striker Jerry Yates would be a good signing for league rivals QPR. Yates spent last season on loan with Derby County and helped keep the Rams in

the Championship by scoring 10 goals. He is likely to find it tough to break back into the Swansea ranks this summer, and a number of clubs have reportedly expressed interest in taking him

away from south Wales permanently. One of those are the Hoops and Prutton, speaking to Football League World, feels he would be a good fit for the west Londoners. Prutton said: "It

would be a good signing for QPR. "He's certainly a player I've enjoyed watching over the past few seasons across the EFL. He would be a miss for Swansea. "QPR need

something to change this pattern of treading water in the Championship. I'm not saying that Jerry Yates is the vital cog that can completely transform them, but he's shown at this

level that he's got ability to affect the opposition. "So, the money would have to be right, the finances would have to fit, but he would be a good signing for the R's, but we

just don't really know where they or whose leading them at the minute, do we?" Yates still has 12 months to run on his Swansea.com Stadium contract, but with Bobby Wales arriving

from Scotland and further forward options sought, the 28-year-old may well feel a move is in his best interests. _Sign up to the Swansea City WhatsApp service to get breaking news and top

potential replacement for Harry Darling, who has yet to decide on his future in south Wales. Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here. Indeed two bids from Swansea were knocked back by

Wanderers in January for the 23-year-old. Low made 42 outings for the Chairboys last term and helped them into the League One play-offs, where they lost to Charlton in the semi-finals. His

former manager, Matt Bloomfield, spoke back in January about the defender being "destined to go on to better things". "He's a very good player and he's our player.

We think a lot of him. He's worked incredibly hard," Bloomfield told BBC Three Counties Radio earlier this year, just before he moved on to Luton Town. "It was decided he

wasn't good enough for the Championship at that point but we believed in him, we've worked with him, we've nurtured him." Where Low's future now lies remains to be

seen. MODRIC SET FOR REAL STAY Multiple reports in Spain state Luka Modric is inching closer to an extension with Real Madrid which will see him continue his footballing career. The Swansea

investor is out of contract in the Spanish capital this summer but the impending arrival of former team-mate Xabi Alonso as new Real boss is set to see him offered another year. It was

always believed that the Croatian had wanted to prolong his playing days and that now seems to be the most likely outcome. Modric, who turns 40 in September, is also reportedly willing to

reduce his salary in order to continue playing. Article continues below The football legend shocked the Swans fanbase a few weeks ago when it was announced he would be joining the club at

boardroom level. He said last month: “This is an exciting opportunity. Swansea has a strong identity, an incredible fanbase, and the ambition to compete at the highest level. Playing at the

highest level, I believe I can provide my experience to the club. My goal is to support the club’s growth in a positive way and to help to build an exciting future.”
