Swansea City HubSwansea City's Ethan Galbraith is destined to leave the club, according to reports, with Stoke City and West Ham showing interest in the midfielder. Galbraith, 25, rejected a fresh deal with the Swans a couple of months ago and has yet to sign an extension on his current deal, which lasts until the summer of 2028.
What's at stake for Swansea City?
The club will be heading into the upcoming campaign highly confident of attacking the top six once again after falling just short last time around. But they will be holding their breath on the future of one of their star assets.
Why is Galbraith in demand?
Galbraith was one of Swansea's outstanding performers last season, balancing his game time between right-back and midfield, performing admirably in both. He made 39 Championship appearances in his maiden year with the club, and his versatility has caught the attention of several clubs.
What comes next for Galbraith?
Football League World's Swansea fan pundit, Will Hughes, shared his thoughts on Stoke emerging as a contender for Galbraith's signature, saying: "The Galbraith saga is evolving every day. To be honest, when I first saw the Stoke links, I've got to be honest, I just brushed it off." Hughes believes Galbraith has the potential to be a Premier League player, but thinks he is destined to leave the Swans this summer.
