Swansea City defender Kyle Bartley to return to Leeds United?

Swansea City defender Kyle Bartley could potentially secure a return to Leeds United during the summer transfer window.

Leeds United have reportedly identified Swansea City defender Kyle Bartley as a transfer target ahead of the summer window.

During the 2016-17 campaign, Bartley made 45 starts for the Yorkshire giants in the Championship but the centre-back was kept by his parent club at the start of this season.

However, Bartley has only made 12 appearances - with just two starts coming in the Premier League - and according to the Yorkshire Evening Post, it has opened up the possibility of a return to Elland Road.

Bartley could potentially be prevented from leaving Swansea if they are relegated to the Championship, but it has been suggested that the 26-year-old would be open to another spell with Leeds.

Last summer, Swansea handed Bartley a new four-year contract as reward for his impressive year with Leeds.
