Swansea City headlines as Cooper reveals the Premier League striker he 'really wanted' to sign while at Swans and Pato has message for fans

These are your Swansea City headlines on Sunday, March 13.

Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper has revealed he wanted to sign Keinan Davis while he was at Swansea.

Davis is now with Cooper at the City Ground, having penned a loan deal from Premier League outfit Aston Villa.

He netted a brace for the Reds in Saturday's 4-0 win over Reading to push the club to the brink of the play-offs.

Cooper has been delighted with the young striker's form and admitted he wanted him while manager at the Swansea.com Stadium.

“Keinan has got a lot of potential," he said.

"I think this loan is going to be an important one for his career, because he’s playing games, he’s playing at a massive club, he’s wearing the No.9 and there’s a bit of expectation on him.

“He’s a really good guy and has settled in.

“He’s really into his learning. He likes the individual stuff. After training, he’s interested in his development.

“We’re really enjoying seeing him thriving in the moment. But, like all of these young lads, it’s about what’s next.

“I really wanted to sign him at Swansea, so when there was a chance to do it here, we didn’t hesitate. It’s great to have him here.

“Sometimes you see the powerful player around the box who can make things happen, but he’s also a really good technical player. He’s difficult to play against, too. He’s a combative player. He’s a good footballer.

“If he can keep playing like that, he’s going to do all right.”

Flynn Downes says he and his team-mates must stick together after another disappointing result on the road.

Swansea went down 1-0 to Blackpool at the weekend, conceding early on at Bloomfield Road.

Despite the lion's share of possession once again, Swansea left Lancashire with nothing to show for it.
