Swansea City transfer news as Swans 'confident' of beating Sunderland for star and Man City's McAtee swap deal now on cards

These are your Swansea City headlines on Friday, June 10.

Swansea are 'confident' of outbidding Sunderland to land American wideman Lynden Gooch this summer. WalesOnline reported on Thursday night that Swansea have interest in the 26-year-old, who is out of contract at the Stadium of Light.

The story has moved on since, with reports in the north east stating that "formal talks" are set to take place between Swansea and Gooch's representatives in the next few days. Preston have also been linked with the versatile player.

The Northern Echo add Sunderland have offered him fresh terms. Swansea are in need of width this summer, with Cyrus Christie and Hannes Wolf ending their loan stints in SA1. Russell Martin would like to bring both back to south Wales but it is clear other targets are now on his radar.

Speaking about his future following Sunderland's win over Wycombe Wanderers under the Wembley last month, Gooch said: "Obviously I've played in the Premier League but staying all this time and trying to get the club back to a higher level, finally, finally we've done it.

"If it is my last game then you couldn't ask for a better way to go out. I'll see what happens. I'll sit down with the gaffer on Tuesday and we'll see what happens. No matter where I end up, I'm a Sunderland fan for life. I've been a part of the club for 16 years and this is the best day of my career."

The Sun report Manchester City plan to use Swansea target James McAtee as bait in a bid to lure Brighton's Marc Cucurella.

McAtee has been a longstanding target for Martin, who tried to sign the 19-year-old last January to fill Swansea's creative void. City, according to national reports, want the highly impressive Cucurella at the Etihad for next season
