Blackburn winger emerges
Football League World report that Swansea are tracking Blackburn Rovers winger Tyrhys Dolan.
The 23-year-old has just entered the last six months of his contract, meaning Swansea could sign the attacker for a knockdown price now or on a free this summer.

Dolan will be known to Swansea fans for scoring the winner in Rovers' 1-0 win over the Swans in October. If the Lancashire club want to recoup a fee for him, they may well feel the need to cash in before the end of the window. Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here.
Dolan came through the ranks at Manchester City and can also operate as a striker.
Last month, Rovers boss John Eustace said Dolan signing a new deal at Ewood Park would be huge for them.
"I think it would be a massive boost for the football club," Eustace said.
"Ty is a young player with a lot of experience under his belt now. He's been a great servant for the club until now. If we're going to build and keep growing, we have to keep our better players.
"Ty is up there and in that bracket. It would be a big statement to keep him. I think it's clear how all of the whole squad are to me by the way they perform and play.
"They're fully committed to the team and I am to them. I want all the players to stay and be fighting to get into the team. Competition for places is key.
"We want to keep as many players as we can here. I have been in for coming up to 10 months and you can see the progression in the group. They're improving and it is my job to develop the players who are here as well as get results."
Low’s manager leaves
Swansea target Joe Low has seen his manager move on in a twist for the defender's future at Wycombe Wanderers.
Luke Williams has confirmed Swansea’s interest in the young Welsh centre-back, with the south Wales outfit said to have had a second bid knocked back for the Chairboys man.
With Harry Darling’s future at the Swansea.com Stadium hanging in the balance, additions at the heart of Swansea’s defence are a priority.
Low’s manager in Buckinghamshire, Matt Bloomfield, has now been unveiled at Luton Town, who were looking for a replacement for Rob Edwards, who left the club last week.
What Bloomfield's exit means for Low's future at the club remains to be seen.

Keeper leaves on loan
Swansea keeper Nathan Broome has joined Port Vale on loan for the remainder of the season.
Broome becomes the fourth stopper to leave Fairwood this month, with Andy Fisher also departing for a temporary stint with St Johnstone. Meanwhile, two under-21s goalkeepers - Evan Watts, 20, and Ben Hughes, 21 - have joined Galway United and Caernarfon Town respectively.
Broome, 23, joined Swansea in the summer of 2023 from AFC Wimbledon and will now link up with Darren Moore's promotion-chasing Valiants.
Moore said: “Nathan is a goalkeeper with huge potential who already has experience in and around this level. He will come in and immediately provide important competition for the goalkeeper position in Connor’s (Ripley) absence.
“Once Connor returns to the club from his paternity leave, he will take a number of weeks to get back to what we deem as match-ready, so having Nathan with us will prove vital for us as we progress into the second half of the campaign.
“I would like to thank Swansea City for entrusting us with Nathan’s immediate development and we all look forward to working with him between now and the end of the season. Welcome to the Vale, Nathan!”
Swansea have Lawrence Vigouroux and Jon McLaughlin as their senior keeping options, although the latter's short-term deal expires at the end of this month. Nineteen-year-old Kit Margetson also remains on the books in Landore.
Coleman plays down concerns
Swansea chairman Andy Coleman has tried to play down concerns that the club and their Welsh EFL counterparts will get a financial advantage over their rivals if a new route to European football is approved.
Swansea, Cardiff City, Wrexham and Newport County could qualify for European competition via a revamped Welsh League Cup, which is awaiting the green light from the Football Association.
Concerns have been aired that any potential European prize money would give the Welsh sides in the EFL an unfair advantage over their competitors in the English pyramid.
However, Coleman told the BBC that is not the intention, saying: "The important thing to note is that this was structured very intentionally in a way not to give any of the Welsh-based EFL clubs a financial advantage.
"This is meant to be a level playing field for all as we do this, with just good intentions about improving the system in Wales.
"We've given the FA board a tap-in. This is a really good opportunity to show that football can take care of football and make common sense decisions for ourselves that strengthen the game."
