With a bid reportedly now accepted by Strasbourg Alsace, Swansea have opened formal talks with Ishe Samuels-Smith over personal terms. The defender is said to be keen on the move, though full details of the contract are still being worked through. Negotiations are active, and the next 24-48 hours could prove decisive in closing the deal - with optimism growing that he will be a Swansea player before too long. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Chelsea decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. With only 7 goals conceded in 8 (0.88 per game), Swansea have been one of the stronger defences in the Championship this season.. Ishe Samuels-Smith would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Strasbourg Alsace have also been linked with Benjamin Chilwell, Martial Godo and Rafael Obrador while Swansea are reportedly monitoring Manuel Benson, Adam Idah and Luka Modric.
