Brandon Cooper is a player likely to leave the Swans this window with another loan spell away from SA1 appearing to be the deal that is in the offing for a player unlikely to feature in the first team squad this season.
Recent additions to the squad will have seen Cooper fall down the pecking order at the Swansea.com Stadium and that seems to have placed a “host” of League One teams on alert for the player’s availability.
23-year old Cooper has previous loan spells at Yeovil, Newport, Swindon and Forest Green and its is now being said that Reading are keen to take him further up the M4 for another spell away from South Wales.
The report came from Sunday Mirror Sports Editor Darren Witcoop who reported Reading as one of the clubs who have asked about his availability whilst the same Tweet suggests that there are a “host” of clubs at that level interested in the player.

Whilst it is not inevitable that Cooper will leave in this window, it does seem more than likely and we hope that this continues his development although, at the age of 23, you start to wonder if he will ever tie down regular football at Swansea.ย Could it be that his time here is really up in a more permanent way than a loan move?
Iโve seen alot of Brandon Cooper play and although Iโd love to say heโs championship material I think he just falls short .It doesnโt seem heโs going to get much game time here so probably time he found a club where heโll get first team football.
It would be a great move for B Cooper.
Won’t get a look in with us this season.
Probably needs to find a permanent club .Definitely capable of playing a lot of league games and having a good career .Thatโs what itโs all about .Too many players hang around for years going out on loan.
Our own Richard Duffy couldnโt quite cut it at the top level but ended up playing over 550 games once he left Portsmouth.
