Swansea City plot January Sam Byram swoop?

Swansea City are reportedly lining up a January move for Leeds United star Sam Byram.

The 22-year-old has been linked with both Newcastle United and Everton this summer, but was thought to be in talks over a new deal at Elland Road.

However, The Mirror claims that Byram is very much on the radar of Swansea boss Garry Monk, who is keen to lure the right-sided player to the Liberty Stadium.

While Southampton are rumoured to have already had a bid turned down by Leeds, Monk is said to be confident of landing Byram by offering immediate first-team football in the Premier League.

Swansea are currently eighth in the table, seven points behind leaders Manchester City.
