SWANSEA IN BID TO KEEP KING

- BY JAMES NURSEY

SWANSEA want to sign Leicester midfielder Andy King permanentl­y – if they beat the drop. The Swans took the Wales midfielder, out of favour at the King Power, on loan on deadline day. King, 29, has since made four appearance­s, scoring once, as Carlos Carvalhal’s Swansea have climbed to 14th. Now the Welsh club are looking to tie him down permanentl­y this summer with fellow central midfielder Ki Sung-yueng set to quit on a free and crocked Leroy Fer possibly out until Christmas. The Foxes are likely to demand up to £6million for ex-trainee King (above), who played 388 times over a decade.
