Burnley linked with swoop for Swansea City and Wales star Connor Roberts

Swansea City star Connor Roberts is reportedly a target for Premier League side Burnley.

According to the Daily Mail, the Clarets have turned their attention to the Wales international after previously looking at Everton's Jonjoe Kenny.

Roberts was an ever-present fixture in Swansea's XI last season as Steve Cooper's side missed out on promotion to the Premier League after defeat to Brentford in the play-off final at Wembley.

Nevertheless, it seems that, one way or the other, Roberts is destined for the Premier League.

There has not yet been any sign of an approach for Roberts, or indeed any player at this stage, but there is an acceptance among Liberty insiders that keeping hold of Roberts could prove a challenge this summer.

The full-back currently has one year left on his contract at the Liberty Stadium and, should the right offer come in, it could well tempt the Swans to cash in.

The 25-year old is currently recovering from a groin injury picked up during the last 16 defeat to Denmark at the weekend, having previously played every minute of the Euro 2020 group stages for Wales.
