Stoke City and Crystal Palace are chasing a deal for Swansea City defender Kyle Bartley.

The Sun says the 26-year-old, who has one year left on his contract at the Liberty Stadium, is also wanted by Garry Monk at Middlesbrough but has Premier League interest.

Monk coached the ex-Arsenal defender at Leeds last season and wants him at the Riverside after his impressive season in the Championship.

His form has also led to Palace looking at putting together a deal as they prepare to replace Mamadou Sakho, who was on loan from Liverpool last season but too expensive to sign permanently.

Stoke boss Mark Hughes is also looking to bolster his back line and is hoping Bartley will add to competition at the Bet365 Stadium.
