Swansea City head coach Vitor Matos wants to add one or two defensive options before the summer window closes, with Queens Park Rangers centre-back Jake Clarke-Salter being a potential target. Swansea is interested in the 28-year-old English defender, who joined his current club in July 2022 and whose first-team minutes at his current club are not guaranteed. The Welsh side faces competition from Championship rivals Watford, who are also interested in a deal for the former England U21 international. Sky Sports News initially reported Watford's interest. Swansea's search for a defender has been intensified by a long-term injury to Cameron Burgess, which has left the team with limited options at centre-back. Clarke-Salter has a current Transfermarkt market value of €800k.
