Bashir Humphreys: Chelsea defender close to loan deal with Swansea City

Swansea City are closing in on signing Bashir Humphreys on loan from Chelsea.

The 20-year-old central defender is expected to sign a new contract with Chelsea with a view to then joining the Swans on loan for the 2023-24 season.

Humphreys has not been given a first-team squad number by the Blues for the current campaign.

Swans boss Michael Duff is keen to bolster his defensive ranks having already brought in wing-backs Josh Key and Harrison Ashby this summer.

"We think there's one more [new recruit] coming in," Duff said following his side's 3-0 Carabao Cup win over Northampton Town.
