Connor Roberts: Burnley eye Swansea City's Wales defender

Burnley could move for Swansea City's Wales defender Connor Roberts ahead of Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Roberts, 25, has been on Burnley's radar all summer and will be available for a cut-price fee as his Swansea contract expires next summer.

Academy product Roberts is a firm favourite at Swansea having made 152 appearances for his local club.

But a move away has looked a strong possibility since Swansea were beaten in May's Championship play-off final.

Swansea would be unable to offer Roberts a new deal which matches his current terms as they continue to cut costs following their relegation from the Premier League in 2018.
