Swans in talks with Burnley over Benson future
- Published
Swansea City are in talks with Burnley over the future of Manuel Benson, but there is no guarantee that the winger's loan spell with the Championship club will be cut short this month.
Benson has been on the fringes at Swansea after joining in September on a deal for the remainder of the season.
The Swans are interested in bring Benson's loan to an early conclusion during the January transfer window, but that will only happen if all parties agree on the idea.
Benson has made eight appearances for the Swans, including just one league start.
"At the moment we are finding the best solution for all of us in terms of the future," said Swansea head coach Vitor Matos.
"Everything can change in football so quickly. We are talking to find the best solution."
Benson has played only once under Matos, as a second-half substitute when Swansea were beaten at home by Derby in the Portuguese's first game in charge in November.
The Angola international went away to the Africa Cup of Nations in last month and has not featured since for Swansea even though his country's involvement at the tournament ended on 29 December.
