Swansea City manager Steve Cooper is keen to sign Reece James from Chelsea.

James is recovering from damaging ankle ligaments while on England under-20 international duty and much will hinge on his rehabilitation timeframe.

Cooper will have plenty of competition for the 20-year-old, with Premier League and Bundesliga clubs also keen to take James on loan after he impressed at Wigan Athletic last season.

Swansea want to sign defender Reece James on loan from Swansea this summer

James has yet to feature for Chelsea's first-team but was hugely impressive for the Blues at youth level.

Mainly used at right-back, James is also capable of featuring as a defensive midfielder if required.

Last year James signed a new contract with Chelsea that runs until the summer of 2022.
