Manchester City are tracking Swansea City defender Joe Rodon.

The Mirror says the 20-year-old local lad has had an impressive start to his first full season in the Championship and City boss Pep Guardiola has already looked at the 6ft 4in centre-half.

But Swansea manager Graham Potter has urged both Rodon, who has made just nine first-team appearances for the club, and Wales international wing-back Connor Roberts, 23, to continue their progress under him. Both players are in new contract talks with the Swans.

Potter said: “We need to do this quickly and that's something we're working on as a club behind the scenes.

“Joe is a young player who is still at the start of his career. He's clever and mature enough to know he's only played nine matches. He knows he's in the best place for him and in an environment which suits him.

“We want Joe and Connor to be top players for Wales and they both have the potential to play at the very highest level, but let's give them a chance to play and enjoy their football."
