United Midfielder Flattered By Swans Link
Sheffield United midfielder Stephen Quinn says he's flattered by the reports linking him with Swansea
Rumours have been circulating in recent months that Paulo Sousa is keen on the Irishman, and reportedly put a £500k bid in last month, prior to the end of the loan transfer deadline.
With his contract ending in 12 months time, Quinn says he's still keen to sign a new deal, but he would 'consider' a move away from Bramall Lane in the summer.
The midfielder told Sky Sports "I've been here seven or eight years now and I'd love to stay here because I am settled, with my family all around me.
"A new deal would be great here, but that depends on whether they want me and if they don't then that is when I will have to look elsewhere for a new challenge, which might be good for me.
"Swansea are a good side and it was a great compliment to be linked with them recently.
"They always play lovely football and that would suit me down to the ground, but I've got a year left on my contract here.
"I will need to speak with Sheffield United first and see if they want to renew my deal because I'd prefer to have more than a year on my contract going into next season.
"If something came up from elsewhere in the summer then I would have to consider it because I'd like to have my long-term future sorted out."

The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall.

That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week.

Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
