Swansea City have joined the battle for Leeds attacker Joe Gelhardt.

The Daily Express says the former Wigan Athletic youth star came close to rejoining the Latics until the end of the season last week before the move stalled. Wigan, Sunderland, Coventry City, Middlesbrough and Blackburn Rovers are all keen on landing the lively frontman as he considers his next move carefully.

Swansea are in the hunt for another striker after reluctantly sanctioning the departure of Michael Obafemi, who is joining Burnley on an initial loan that will become permanent this summer.

The Clarets failed with multiple bids for the Republic of Ireland international both last summer and this month but now Vincent Kompany has finally landed his man.

Obafemi's arrival could also trigger the departure of veteran Ashley Barnes - who is out of contract at the end of the season - with Swansea among those monitoring his situation.
