KEY ISSUES FOR SWANS AHEAD OF NEXT TERM

SWANSEA City's summer window has already clicked in to gear, with the club already landing two new faces ahead of the coming campaign.

However, there's clearly plenty of work still to be done over the coming weeks, with several areas of the squad still in need of strengthening before the opening day of the new season in August.

There are a number of key decisions facing the club that could well end up defining how their summer window pans out.

Here's a quick look at the key talking points.

A MCBURNIE REUNION

LET'S start with the most recent development.

Swansea are certainly keen to strengthen their attacking options this summer, and are understood to be assessing a number of possible targets, with Oli McBurnie believed to be among them.

However, the early indications suggest a reunion is some way away from coming close to fruition.

For one, there hasn't yet been any sort of approach from the Swans at this stage.

McBurnie himself is believed to be open to a return to the UK, and a return to the Swans, provided the terms are right, would certainly be of interest.

Bit it's Swansea's ability to put together a suitable package that has already been cited as a possible key stumbling block, despite McBurnie's obvious emotional connection to the club.

It could well be a deal that's beyond Swansea's grasp, but a new striker is something the club will look to get done over the coming weeks.

Luton Town's Carlton Morris has been cited elsewhere as a possible target, but club sources have indicated those suggestions are wide of the mark for now.

DARLING'S CONTRACT

IT'S the saga that's rumbled on for months, and we could soon get a resolution one way or the other.

The club presented the centre-back with an improved offer last month, but he's still assessing his options amid growing interest from elsewhere.

Newly-promoted duo Wrexham and Birmingham City are known admirers, although there are likely to be others keeping tabs on the 25-year-old.
