THERE ARE QUESTION MARKS HANGING OVER SEVERAL SWANS STARS THIS SUMMER 12:28, 03 Jun 2025 Swansea City's transfer window is already up and running, with three new faces already coming


through the door this summer. Kilmarnock forward Bobby Wales is the latest to have been brought on board, following on from the capture of Swedish winger Zeidane Inoussa. Melker Widell,


technically not a 'new' signing given the deal to bring him to the club was completed in January, is also set to meet up with his new team-mates for the first time. A fair amount


of cautious excitement is now starting build within the Jack Army about what the upcoming campaign may hold, particularly after what was a strong end to the last campaign under Alan Sheehan.

in August, with several areas of the squad clearly in need of strengthening. However, a few players could well be moving in the opposite direction. Harry Darling's future has obviously


become a big talking point already this summer, with the centre-back yet to make a decision over his next move following the expiration of his contract. Article continues below However,


he's not the only player who could be facing something of an uncertain future. MYKOLA KUHAREVICH The Ukrainian spent last season on loan at Scottish side Hibernian, where he netted


seven goals in 28 games in all competitions, and appears keen to turn his stay in the green half of Edinburgh into a permanent one. With just one year left on his current contract, it seems


likely the Swans will listen to offers for the 23-year-old this summer. Commenting on his future Kuharevich said recently: "I would consider this opportunity to return to Hibs again if


it happens, because I am fully adapted to the team. "And, of course, there is a great excitement to feel the taste of European football together with the club and fans, from whom I have


constantly experienced crazy support. "But I have a current contract with Swansea, so I am happy to spend the next season there too. "The plan now is to rest, and after returning


to work and the pre-season training camp, time will tell where I end up." JERRY YATES A very similar situation to the above really. The 28-year-old spent last season out on loan at


Derby County, where he scored 10 goals in 42 league outings, and his success there had understandably sparked questions over whether he might make his stay at the Rams permanent. Paul Warne


was understood to be keen on exploring the possibility of a deal. But his departure, and the arrival of John Eustace, has clearly complicated the landscape. "I think Jerry has done very


well - that is something we will discuss at the end of the year," Eustace said when quizzed on the forward back in April. It appears there still hasn't yet been a decision over


his future, although one suspects that Swansea would be tempted to cash in should they receive the right offer. Reports earlier this month have suggested a few clubs might be circling,


including Blackburn Rovers, Hull City and QPR, while there's also believed to be interest from the MLS. ANDY FISHER Another player returning from a loan spell, the 27-year-old, who has


one year left on his current deal, is poised to return from a short spell at Scottish side St Johnstone this summer. Fisher played 18 games for the Saints last term, having seen his hopes of


first-team football with the Swans curtailed by a groin injury in pre-season, and it seems unlikely he'll be overtaking Lawrence Vigouroux for the number one jersey any time soon. As


such, there are real questions marks over what may lie ahead, although the lack of real depth in goalkeeping options in light of Jon McLaughlin's departure means he may yet stick


around. However, if Swansea can bringing another stopper in this summer, it would surely push him closer to the exit. FLORIAN BIANCHINI The French winger only signed for the club last


summer, but has largely struggled to get up to speed with the Championship. A few games in a more central role did appear to hint at an upturn in form, but the 23-year-old has still mustered


up just three goals in a Swans shirt. What's more, he made just eight league starts last term, and played just 80 minutes in the 13 games overseen by Sheehan. Swansea shelled out just


over £2m for him last year, and his current deal at the club is set to run until 2028, and those points alone may well see him earn another chance. But one suspects a tidy offer would be


welcomed. A loan spell away is another possible option, of course. JAY FULTON The midfielder has already been tipped as a possible target for Plymouth Argyle this summer, and with one year


left on his current deal, it's entirely plausible that Swansea might earmark the Scot as someone they can potentially make a bit of cash on. Fulton started just 13 games in the league


last season, and is still seen as a solid squad player by those on the inside. He's also been a superb servant to the club over the years, but it's difficult to envisage a time


next term where he's a considered a real first-choice option. Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here. At 31, and having been with the club for seven years, now might well be seen


as the best time for a new chapter. GONCALO FRANCO One that Swans fans will absolutely not want to happen. As things stand, there's no reason to believe that Franco will be moving on


from before the close of the window, and the player himself is understood to be happy with the Swans. Article continues below But after such an impressive debut season in the Championship,


it was perhaps inevitable he would catch the eye of potential suitors elsewhere. Sources in Portugal have indicated to WalesOnline that a few clubs are already asking about the 24-year-old,


with sides from England, Germany and, of course, the player's homeland, all believed to be keeping tabs. Swansea are understandably keen to keep him on board, but it's perfectly


possible that their resolve could be tested before the summer is out.
