The Swans and Blackburn go head to head in the season opener at Ewood Park tomorrow but, if press reports are to be believed, then Blackburn are already potentially one step ahead of the Swans in the race to sign Leeds United defender Niall Huggins.

Huggins, who made his Premier League debut for Leeds last season is expected to leave Elland Road this summer with the Swans, Blackburn and Coventry all reported to be in the hunt.

Huggins made 17 appearances for Leeds’ under-23s last season as they won the Premier League 2 Division 2 title and that gave him the chance to make his Premier League debut in a 4-2 defeat to Arsenal in February.

Despite being born in York, Huggins qualifies for Wales through his father and has represented Wales at Under 21 level.

Been watching the Swans since the very late 1970s and running the Planet Swans website (in all its current and previous guises since the summer of 2001 As it stood JackArmy.net was right at the forefront of some of the activity against Tony Petty back in 2001, breaking many of the stories of the day as fans stood against the actions where the local media failed. Was involved with the Swans Supporters Trust from 2005, for the large part as Chairman before standing down in the summer of 2020.
