Swansea boss Cooper confident not losing Newcastle keeper Woodman

Swansea City boss Steve Cooper is confident keeping hold of Newcastle United goalkeeper Freddie Woodman.

Woodman's deal runs until the end of the season but given how he's taken to life in the Championship - conceding the fewest away goals so far this season - Cooper has fielded question over the Englishman's immediate future.

"There's no inclination that they want him back, and we hope that stays like that," Cooper replied.

"I'm pretty sure he's of the same opinion aswell.

"There's always recall options on loan players, there's nothing out of the norm on that, particularly with goalkeepers."

He added: “Freddie's a really good example of the culture, of the way we're playing, the way we're working and players really getting the best out of themselves.

"He's not the only one. You look at some of the other young players, and the more of that we can have, it can only be a positive."
