Swansea City are interested in Yeovil Town’s Tom James, the Mirror (live blog, 12.14am) reports.

The Welsh side are looking to offload a few players, which will enable manager Graham Potter to make additions to his team.

James, who was released by Cardiff in 2017, spent the last year-and-a-half with Yeovil Town in League Two.

And the new Swans boss could seal the signing of the defender for a fee in the region of £350,000.

Swansea are looking to sell Alfie Mawson and Kyle Naughton after relegation from the Premier League.

The sale of these players will give Potter space in his side to bring in the 22-year-old defender who impressed during his time at Huish Park.

The Verdict

James is a young, hungry defender and precisely what Swansea need.

Swansea boss Graham Potter is looking to bring the average age of the team down and bring in real prospects for the future.

Having been with Cardiff, the Welshman is no stranger to Swansea City.

With Mawson and Naughton looking to be exiting the Liberty Stadium, this could be a chance for the Wales U19 defender to become the first choice right-back for the Swans in the Championship.
