Bristol City are being reported as making an enquiry to Swansea City for defender Harry Darling – the Swans have knocked back the enquiry at least for now.
It should be stressed that an enquiry does not constitute a bid but I certainly wouldn’t rule out Bristol City returning with something more concrete to test the Swans resolve to hold onto one of their better players.
Darling is out of contract at the end of the season which will be one of the reasons why the Robins think that they may be able to construct a deal to tempt us to part company. Darling has consistently been one of our strongest defenders over the past couple of seasons and adds an attacking elements at set pieces where you always get a half a feeling that a goal could be coming from him when he heads further up the pitch.
The enquiry was reported by Pete O’Rourke on X – not always the most reliable of sources or at least not always the most reliable on reporting on deals that complete.

It is difficult to know from this exactly what the discussion was between the two clubs but if there is any sign that the Swans could be prepared to cash in then expect others to come forward at the same time.
