Swansea City boss Garry Monk faces a raid on his backroom team.

Newcastle United manager Steve McClaren is seeking to assemble his coaching staff this week.

The Evening Chronicle says McClaren is a fan of Kristian O'Leary, one of Monk's coaches at Swansea, but there would be compensation to pay to the Premier League side if he was enticed from the Liberty Stadium.

O'Leary has a long association with Swansea – but a prominent role on McClaren's backroom staff may tempt him.
