The report explains that Swift’s contract is set to expire at the end of the current campaign, hence all the interest in him from so many clubs.

“He’s class I’d love him at Leeds. He’s been one of, if not, the best in that league.”
“Now this is a player I would get excited about. Absolute baller. Would suit our set-up perfectly. Get him signed.”
“I’ve been going on about Swift for a long time now. Questionable source this however I’d take him in a heartbeat. Suits us perfectly! Time will tell.”
“Please please please.”
It’s clear to see just how excited all these supporters are at the idea of signing Swift. Having come through the Chelsea academy, he certainly would arrive with good pedigree.
The centre-mid has really impressed this season with Reading too, claiming eight goals and seven assists from just 17 appearances in the Championship.
