Swansea City are keen to bring Chelsea winger Scott Sinclair to the club, chairman Huw Jenkins has confirmed.
Newly appointed Swans boss Brendan Rodgers worked with Sinclair during his time at Chelsea and it is hoped this could help sway the 21-year-old’s decision.
Although displaying enough potential to persuade Chelsea to sign him as a 16-year-old, Sinclair has failed to establish himself at Stamford Bridge and has been linked with a move away this summer, with Swansea keen to move in.
"We have spoken to Chelsea about Scott," Jenkins confirmed in the South Wales Evening Post.
"Brendan obviously knows him pretty well from his time at Chelsea and we hope that could play a part in Scott's decision.
"The next step is to try to make contact with the player. If something was to happen, though, we're not sure whether it would take a few days or a few weeks."
Jenkins also commented on the status of right-back Angel Rangel, who was subject to a bid from Blackpool recently.
"I've not spoken to anyone at Blackpool since we turned down their offer. I'm not sure if they will phone us again regarding Angel, but he is a player we are not looking to sell.
