Swans making move for Aberdeen midfielder?

As transfer deadline day enters it’s last few hours there are reports this evening that both Cardiff City and Swansea City have made a move for Aberdeen midfielder Connor Barron.

The same report suggests that the deal may not be completed tonight but could very much be one for the future with the player out of contract this summer.

Football League World reports that both clubs “have lodged offers for the youngster, and it remains to be seen whether an agreement can be reached before the deadline.”

The 21-year old has represented Scotland at youth levels and has more than 50 appearances for Aberdeen under his belt, 13 of which have been this season in the Scottish Premiership and a further 7 in Europe.

The Swans, of course, have recently appointed former Aberdeen academy director Gavin Levey into their own set up and Levey will be well aware of the potential of Barron.

It remains to be seen if this deal will complete before the deadline comes but it remains a possibility and seems to be within the Swans price range.
