​Clement given time to save Swansea job

Swansea boss Paul Clement remains safe in his job for now, with owners Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien keen to give him time to stem their flow of defeats, reports Sky Sports.

Sky Sports News understands the owners believe Clement is still the man to sort out their current problems and his future will not depend on the crucial visit of Bournemouth to the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.

Kaplan ended a five-day trip to the UK when he flew back to the US on Monday morning, after witnessing the Swans' fourth successive Premier League defeat - a 2-0 loss at Burnley - and their eighth of the season.

During that trip, Kaplan is understood to have held talks to fine-tune Swansea's strategy during the January's transfer window - with Clement playing a key role in the club's recruitment process.

Clement is approaching a year in charge in South Wales and both Levien and Kaplan are well aware of the way he turned the club's fortunes around upon his appointment last season, including a run of four wins in five games that secured their Premier League survival.
