The Mirror understands that Swansea City will attempt to sign Andy King from Leicester City on a permanent deal if they avoid relegation.
The twenty-nine year old secured a loan move to the South Wales outfit on transfer deadline after ten years with the Foxes, during which time he helped them win League One, the Championship and the Premier League.
Since switching to the Swans, he has played just three times though he is already of the mark having scored in the 4-1 win over West Ham United earlier this month.
He scored sixty-two goals in three hundred and seventy-eight appearances for the East Midlands club and was named their Players’ Player of the Year in both 2010 and 2011.
Internationally he has been capped forty-two times for Wales, scoring …
Alvaro Morata accepts Diego Costa s prolific run for Chelsea has probably pushed him below his fellow striker in the Spain pecking order.
Morata led the line for Spain during Euro 2016 and has eight goals in 15 international caps, but he has regularly found himself among the substitutes since returning to Real Madrid from Juventus during the close-season.
It was a position he took up for the national team as Costa, who missed out on the recent tournament altogether, started up-front and scored twice in the 8-0 demolition of Liechtenstein to launch World Cup qualifying under new boss Julen Lopetegui last month.
Costa has scored six goals in seven Premier League matches for Chelsea this season under Antonio Conte, who led Italy to a last-16 win over Spain in the Eu…

What a journey it has been thus far
Looking at his curly hair flying around the pitch behind him made a lot of people laugh, but it was only before Stevan Jovetic took the ball to his feet.
Then the laughs turned into utter amazement and disbelief.
The youngest-ever Partizan player to wear a captain’s armband at 17 years, 10 months and 21 days – a record held for four years – Stevan Jovetic made a great impression for the Belgrade-based club.
A born leader and match-winner, the Montenegro international has been rather quick to display his technical ability, which set high above the rest in the Serbian football. Impressive dribbling skills and uncanny creativity led to comparisons with one of I…

Andre Onana has promised Manchester United fans that he will take a lot more risks when playing out from the back this season.
Erik ten Hag brought the Cameroonian into the club for his skill with the ball at his feet, however, he was occasionally caught out as United got used to his style.
He made some high-profile mistakes in the Red Devils dismal Champions League campaign last year, though finished the season strongly, helping the club to lift the FA Cup.
During pre-season, United have brought in a new goalkeeper coach, Jelle ten Rouwelaar, as they continue to work on playing out from the back, and Onana says he is keen to keep adapting his style.
That s me. And I think it s what you re gonna see this season because I will take a lot of risks, Onana t…

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was on Friday acquitted on appeal for a second time by a Swiss federal court of charges of corruption in the attribution of World Cup television rights.
Al-Khelaifi had been charged with inciting former FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke to commit aggravated criminal mismanagement.
Valcke was accused of wanting to transfer the Middle East and North Africa television rights for the 2026 and 2030 World Cups to a media company headed by Al-Khelaifi.
Al-Khelaifi allegedly offered Valcke, who is serving a 10-year ban from football that was handed down by the Fifa Ethics Committee in 2018, exclusive use of a luxury villa in Sardinia in exchange.
The PSG president has been cleared again of a charge of inc…
Didier Deschamps will lead France in their World Cup defence after committing to Les Bleus through to the end of their Qatar 2022 mission.
The new deal for the head coach, confirmed at a news conference in Paris, rewards the former midfielder for his ongoing success with the national team.

When Pep Guardiola said he had a feeling Mikel Arteta was building something special at Arsenal, he might not have banked on being proved right so quickly and so emphatically.
Arsenal reached half-time in Saturday s FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City deservedly 1-0 ahead. It should have been more. The eventual 2-0 outcome did not flatter them in the slightest.
Arteta s three and a half years as Guardiola s assistant at City saw his reputation blossom rapidly. He had already been offered the top job at Emirates Stadium in 2018 before accepting his first senior coaching position last December.
It was easy to see almost everything Arsenal did in an accomplished showing as being informed and inspired by the Guardiola playbook.
Take Pierre-Emerick Aubam…
Real Madrid kept pace with Barcelona at the summit of LaLiga after coming from behind to beat Real Sociedad 3-1 at Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.
Barca had edged past Leganes earlier in the day to open up a three-point lead over their bitter rivals but Zinedine Zidane s side registered a second consecutive league win to rejoin them on 28 points.
Willian Jose took advantage of a woeful mistake by Sergio Ramos to put Sociedad ahead in the second minute but Karim Benzema restored parity before half-time.
Federico Valverde – who opened his Madrid account in the 4-0 win over Eibar before the international break – completed the turnaround shortly after the restart before Luka Modric sealed all three points 16 minutes from time.
Gareth Bale was introduced a…
