Swansea City are resigned to losing Flynn Downes as news regards the twenty three year olds swans future is pretty much not in SA1 next season. Downes is a West Ham supporter since childhood and now the hammers have started they will match any bid Crystal Palace offer Swansea.

Already the fee is increasing as Palace took the lead over other interested premier league clubs but now it’s understood David Moyes has turned his attention to one of last seasons success stories at Swansea City. Hearing the news this evening we spoke to sources who believe the price on Downes head will increase dramatically now West Ham are in the chase. We have also been told Downes would jump at the chance to become a West Ham player.

West Ham news are reporting a nine million pounds bid plus add ons but the swans are holding out for more cash up front than waiting for extra add ons. Although a sell on and appearance fee is also expected. West Ham offer European football next season and their last campaign was proof of the upward trajectory Moyes has got the club on.

It seems now this transfer is fast coming to a conclusion, and Flynn Downes will be a premier league player in the very near future.
