Swans and Parker 'long way apart' in contract talks

Head coach Luke Williams says Swansea City and Sam Parker are “quite a long way apart” in contract negotiations after the teenager turned down a new deal. With Swansea struggling with injuries, Parker was given his debut by interim boss Alan Sheehan at Coventry City in December, then featured in Williams’ first two games in charge. There has been speculation that the Wales Under-17 international, who joined Swansea at under-nine level, is attracting interest from Premier League clubs.
