Wales boss Coleman backing Swansea option for Palace's Williams

Wales boss Chris Coleman can see Crystal Palace midfielder Jonny Williams moving to Swansea City.

The 20-year-old admitted earlier this week he has been told the Swans could be tempted into a move for the midfielder who impressed in his international outing against the Netherlands in Amsterdam in the 2-0 defeat on Wednesday.

Coleman said: "For me, Swansea would be a great move for him.

"A lot of managers ring me up about Jonny. He's a top player but just needs to be in the right team playing the right football.

"The way he is able to attract two players at the same time and have the intelligence to find the extra man really fits with Swansea's style.

"Tony Pulis has done a great job at Palace but Jonny didn't play a lot of games there after injury last season and I don't know whether he is part of Tony's plans.

"But if you're talking about style of play, and if there is an interest from Swansea, it would make a lot of sense because I think he would be great there."
