Swansea City have made enquiries about the possibility of taking Curtis Jones on loan from Liverpool, according to reports.
Steve Cooper could well strengthen his squad in the January transfer window, although given the club's financial situation, he is likely to rely on the loan market after Trevor Birch admitted the club must operate on a sell-to-buy basis.

And Goal reporter Neil Jones claims Swansea have also asked Jurgen Klopp's side about midfielder Jones ahead of the upcoming window.
"Told it's unlikely that Rhian Brewster will be loaned to Salzburg in January. Championship most likely for him. Expect that to move forward after Carabao Cup game," he wrote on Twitter.
"Curtis Jones another who will go out, providing the fit is right. Swansea among those to have asked about both."
Cooper previously worked in Liverpool's youth system and will hope his relationship with the Anfield outfit can persuade Klopp that Swansea are the right club for players to develop.
And Jones could be the man to solve what's been something of a problem position for the Swans, albeit only temporarily.
Matt Grimes is the only outfield player to have played every single minute of league action for the Swans this season.
The captain has had multiple partners alongside him in the centre of midfield, including Jay Fulton, George Byers and Tom Carroll.
Swansea desperately need more goals from those behind the front four, with Byers - who has also been deployed as a No. 10 - being the only central midfielder to net more than once under Cooper this season.
And in Jones, they could find themselves someone who delivers on that front, with the 18-year-old being highly regarded by those on Merseyside.
Jones - who has played for England at every age grade up to Under-19 level - made his first team debut for Liverpool in their 2-1 FA Cup third round defeat to Wolves in January.
He has made three appearances under Klopp this term, the most recent of which saw him feature in the Premier League for the first time against Bournemouth.
Jones is described as a "versatile and talented midfield player with an eye for a pass and ability to score goals" on Liverpool's official website.
Swansea currently have four loan players in their ranks, given that he can only select five loan men in any given matchday squad.
