The transfer status of every Swansea City player as Wolves, Leeds United, Burnley and Reading monitor stars

Swansea City have made an encouraging start to their summer transfer business.

Four players are in through the door, with Matty Sorinola, Harry Darling, Nathan Wood and Wasiri Williams joining Russell Martin and Co in south Wales for next season.

Those signings are unlikely to be the only arrivals in SA1 before the start of the new campaign, with departures also probable if Swansea are to strengthen further in this window.

Links with Swansea players are already emerging and are likely to rage on for the next few weeks Here we look at the transfer status of every member of Martin's first-team squad.

Andy Fisher

Swansea's number-one stopper and a key man for Martin. His distribution last season was his main attribute and important to how they want to play. Going nowhere this summer.

Steven Benda

Swansea will sell the German if an acceptable offer arrives. The shot-stopper is keen on regular game-time.

Lewis Webb

The youngster is likely to be in and around the first-team squad, but another keeper is set to be brought in this summer.

Nathan Wood

Just signed from Middlesbrough on a free transfer. Martin was delighted with his capture and is likely to push for a first-team spot this term.

Matty Sorinola

Signed on loan from Belgian outfit Union SG last week, can play both on the left and right of defence and further upfield. A regular in Martin's XI is his likely fate.

Harry Darling

Martin was desperate to bring in the centre-back from former club MK Dons. Will be in the starting XI at Rotherham United on the first day of the season.

Joel Latibeaudiere

Finished last season strongly but is now subject of transfer interest from Burnley. Could be sold if right offer comes in.

Ryan Bennett

Surplus to requirements. Didn't attend Swansea's pre-season camp at Pennyhill Park last week and is now not training with the first team back at Fairwood. Reading have been keeping an eye on him.

Ryan Manning

Martin is a big fan of the Republic of Ireland man's versatility. Likely to be a mainstay again next season.

Kyle Naughton

Penned a contract extension just before the season ended. Set to anchor the backline for the 2022/23 campaign.

Tivonge Rushesha

Currently recovering from a serious ACL injury and won't play again before the turn of the year. One for the future, though.

Brandon Cooper

There is interest from League One clubs in his services. Loan move would be beneficial, especially in light of Wood and Darling's arrivals.

Ben Cabango

Recovering from ankle surgery at present. Came on leaps and bounds under Martin last term and is set to be part of plans going forward.

Nathanael Ogbeta

Frustrating start to his Swans career when he arrived injured from Shrewsbury Town. Will face a fight for his place now Sorinola has arrived.

Matt Grimes

Skipper is one of the first names on the team sheet and signed a new deal before the turn of the year. As ever with Swansea, if a sizeable offer arrived for Grimes, he would likely be sold.

Jay Fulton

Barely featured last season and a move away from south Wales looks the most probable. His wages might be a barrier, however.

Liam Walsh

Spent an unsuccessful stint on loan with Hull last season. Like Fulton, his wages could prove a stumbling block for potential suitors, as could his injury record.

Jamie Paterson

Has just penned a contract extension in SA1. The events of last January when a contract dispute resulted in him training away from the first-team squad seem like a very long time ago now.

Daniel Williams

Had his loan move in Ireland cut short because of injury. Back at Fairwood undergoing pre-season with his team-mates with Martin set to make a decision on his short-term future imminently.

Flynn Downes

One of the jewels in Swansea's crown. Recently linked with Premier League outfits Southampton, Wolves and Crystal Palace, while Leeds United are long-term admirers of the former Ipswich man. Valued at £11m to £12m. Would be sold if that valuation is met.

Ollie Cooper

The attacker spoke last week of wanting to kick on after a successful loan stint with Newport County. Martin is a fan of the youngster, who is keen to break into Swansea's plans but may have to look for another loan move first.

Olivier Ntcham

Back with the squad after an extended summer break. Will be hoping for a good pre-season and to stay fit and make more of an impact this term.

Jordon Garrick

Spent a successful season with Plymouth Argyle at Home Park, narrowly missing out on the play-offs. Said to be keen on a return to Devon.

Morgan Whittaker

Like his fellow loanees, the striker will move on this summer should the right offer arrive. Portsmouth are tracking him.

Liam Cullen

As above. Pompey are also interested in Cullen, who spent the second half of last season with Lincoln City, alongside Whittaker.

Kyle Joseph

Another striker interesting the Fratton Park club. Sheffield Wednesday are the latest to be linked with the former Wigan man. His versatility could be seen as a real asset.

Joel Piroe

The Dutchman has been linked with Leicester City and Watford and as every Swansea fan will concede, like Downes, the striker will be sold if a decent offer arrives.

Michael Obafemi

Really came out of his shell after Christmas and hit red-hot form. That sparked links with Brighton but the former Southampton man is likely to be retained if money is brought in elsewhere.
