Swansea City transfer news amid boost in Reynolds chase as old favourite reveals Wind St parties

Here's your round-up of all the latest Swansea City news for Wednesday, March 29.

Bryan Reynolds linked with Swans after work permit breakthrough

Swansea City and Watford have received a potential boost in their efforts to sign AS Roma’s right back Bryan Reynolds, according to reports in the US.

The 21-year-old has spent time on loan at Westerlo in Belgium and has earned his first caps for the US National Team.

While Westerlo are keen to make his move permanent, American journalist Tom Bogert claims his appearances for his country have made him eligible for a UK work permit with enough points.

He started as the US thrashed Grenada 7-1 over the international break.

Reynolds started his career at FC Dallas before moving to Roma in 2020.

He has made 24 appearances in the Belgian Pro League this season, scoring one goal.

Pratley looking forward to 'crazy' derby day

Swansea City legend Darren Pratley says he still looks back on his time as a player in the South Wales derby with fondness.

Discussing his memories of this fixture with the club's official website, he said: "It's crazy. Manic. Probably the best atmosphere for a player to be in.

"It's the game the fans all look forward to. When you're walking around, they all want to you to win and come out. No matter what your form's like it's the best game for them because they can get the bragging rights."

The midfielder certainly has plenty of experience with this fixture, and netted two goals in a 3-2 win over the Bluebirds back in 2009, a game he says ranks as one of the best of his career.

"They were good times," he added when reflecting on that game at the Swansea.com Stadium "Good celebrations. We used to go out on Wind Street on a night out. Leon [Britton'] would normally have an after party. I'll let Leon tell you about them.

"But we'd go out, enjoy it, and celebrate with the fans because it was tight-knit between the fans and the players. So, yeah, it was good times."

Swans involvement in Under-17s success

Swansea City’s Iwan Morgan scored for Wales Under-17s as they qualified for the European Under-17s Championship.

Morgan scored Wales first goal in a 2-2 draw against Montenegro. This was enough for qualification and is the first time that a Wales age group has qualified for a tournament since the 1981 UEFA Under-18 Championship.

FAW Chief of Football Dave Adams told BBC Radio Wales Sport that it was “an unbelievable achievement.”

“We play in Hungary now in the finals tournament – it is an unbelievable shop window.”

“All we can do is give the players the opportunity, the platform, and we are doing that pretty well I think.”
