Swansea defender Chico Flores favours Lekhwiya move

Swansea City defender Chico Flores wants to move to Qatar.

The People says Flores is ready to quit Swansea and sign for former boss Michael Laudrup's Qatari club Lekhwiya.

The big Spaniard - who clashed with his Swans manager Garry Monk, then a teammate, last season in a training ground bust-up - is set for talks as a switch worth around ­£3.5million moves closer.

Centre-half Flores is one of ­several men being squeezed out in a major overhaul, as Monk puts his stamp on the club.

And Laudrup has come back for one of his old boys with a fee that appeals to the Swans, who are happy to trade.
