Sheffield United Join Britton Hunt
Sheffield United have joined the race to sign Leon Britton but expect to lose out to Wigan
Newspaper speculation today suggested that the Blades have joined the hunt for Britton who is yet to decide where his future lies for next season.
The news comes 24 hours after the player's agent Glen Corcoran revealed that Britton has attracted interest from four other clubs as well as the Swans.
Corcoran told the Evening Post "Leon is facing what is obviously a big decision at this stage of his career and has not signed anything with anybody or given any verbal assurances," Corcoran said.
"As things stand he will be a free agent on June 30 when his contract expires, but anybody who thinks he has already left Swansea is wrong.
"We are having continual conversations with Huw Jenkins and Swansea are still in the mix. They have been as good as gold with us.
"They want to keep him and, had they gone up, it would have been an easy decision for Leon.
"But as it is, he has just gone on holiday for a couple of weeks. He wants to have a think about things and make his mind up during that time."

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. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
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.
