MK Dons defender Harry Darling has commented on the transfer speculation linking him with a move to Swansea City, amidst rumours he has a \u00a31.5m release clause in his contract.<\/p>\n
Darling is one of a host of players said to be Russell Martin’s shortlist along with Matt O’Riley, but funds are said to be the stumbling block in bringing him to SA1.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless the rumours persist and much, it is thought, depends on the movements out before any serious spending is committed by the Swansea board.<\/p>\n
A centre half is believed to be on Martin’s January shopping list with Rhys Williams potentially returning to Anfield. Darling would fit much of the criteria – strong and quick with good passing ability – and you’d expect would be a main starter in a defence which has looked leaky in recent times.<\/p>\n
The 22 year old has made 23 appearances for the play off chasing Dons this season, having been signed by Martin from Cambridge United.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re all MK Dons players, I\u2019m happy and I know the other lads are as well,\u201d Darling told the MK Citizen.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf your name gets mentioned, it’s a compliment because it means you’re doing well.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we’re all playing for Milton Keynes, we’ve not got our heads elsewhere.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s something we don’t really listen to, even though we know it’s there. We’re only focused on our next game.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Martin signed him for the Dons, he said: “Harry is a player we have been keeping tabs on for some time. We\u2019ve watched a lot of him, particularly in the last few months and he\u2019s been our number one target at this position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
