Tonight's Swansea City transfer news as star says 'all options open' and chief makes Kyprianou admission
Here's your round-up of all the latest Swansea City news for Friday May, 9.

It seems unlikely the 26-year-old will be part of Scott Parker's plans in the Premier League, while there's currently no suggestion he'll be returning to south Wales next season.
The player himself doesn't seem sure about what comes next.
'I don't know,' Delcroix told Belgian publication Gazet van Antwerpen when quizzed about his future.
"All options are open.'
Delcroix made 12 appearances for the Swans during his short stint in SA1, which the one-time Belgium international embarked on largely without his young family.
"I went there alone," he said. "Swansea is four hours by train from where we live, below Manchester, because it was only for a few months.
'For my girlfriend and our children, a move would have been too much hassle. Just now that everyone here has adjusted. When our children play, they even speak English to each other.'
Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony admits the club should have sold Swansea City target Hector Kyprianou.
The midfielder is set to leave the League One outfit on a free when his contract expires this summer, having been the subject of a failed bid from the Swans back in January.
The 23-year-old's departure for nothing will undoubtedly come as a blow to the East Anglians, and MacAnthony admits allowing his situation to get to this points has proved a mistake.
"We made mistakes we won't make again," he told the Peterborough Telegraph when assessing the season. "We shouldn't have given new contracts to players who wanted to leave and who ended up leaving anyway.
"We should have sold Hector Kyprianou and used the money to buy two new midfielders. Instead we became fearful of losing our captain and one of the best midfielders in League One. We were concerned with what our fans would say.
"It didn't help the dressing room which is not a criticism of the players themselves, but as a club we now have to paint the best portrait of ourselves and get back to our best."
Cyrus Christie has bid farewell to Swansea City for a second time.
The versatile defender is to leave the club on a free transfer, having previously signed a short-term deal until the end of the season back in November.
In what was his second spell with the club, the 32-year-old made 12 appearances, three of which were starts.
Writing on social media, the Republic of Ireland international Christie said: "Thank you to everyone at Swansea City – team-mates, staff and fans – for the memories, support and experiences that I'll always carry with me.
"Wishing the club nothing but success moving forward."

He scored the third goal of his Swansea career in the final day draw with Oxford United last weekend, and there's real hope he can build on what's been an encouraging first season in the second tier.
But despite his progress, he still clearly has plenty of time for his former club.
In a video posted by Joel Kim on X, Eom can be seen surprising his former team-mates with an impromptu visit, and many of his ex-colleagues seem shocked at how much he's bulked up.

Call for supporters' trusts to be recognised by law
A football supporters' trust leading a drive for fans to "play a meaningful part in decision making at their clubs" has been backed by a national campaign group. Fair Game has joined a coalition of 22 fan groups, led by Northampton Town Supporters Trust who are calling on the government to ensure "the unique status of trusts to be recognised and enshrined in law" as part of its Trusts First campaign. Niall Couper, chief executive of Fair Game, said the campaign was "about giving those communities a real voice in the game they love" The Department of Culture, Media and Sport has been approached for comment. The coalition of clubs, from all levels of the English game, intends to lobby government to "guarantee primacy for Trusts and other democratically-constituted supporter groups" in the forthcoming Football Governance Bill. The legislation, which is passing through parliament after being reintroduced by the Labour government in October, will hand power to a body independent from government and football authorities to oversee clubs in England's top five divisions. The Trusts First group includes supporters' trusts from Barnsley, Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers, Bradford City, Doncaster Rovers, Exeter City, Fulham, Leicester City, Leyton Orient, Manchester United, Morecambe, Northampton Town, Plymouth Argyle, Reading, Scunthorpe United, Southend United, Swansea City, Swindon Town, Torquay United and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Mr Couper said: "It's time to ensure that meaningful fan engagement isn't just a slogan, but a reality." Andy Roberts, the chair of the Northampton Town Supporters' Trust, said: "The trust movement was founded in 1992, the year the Premier League was introduced, yet many fans up and down the country continue to be disenfranchised and marginalised by club owners pursuing their own vested interests. "We now have a clear opportunity to get all mandated supporter groups front and centre of fan engagement, not just those who are cherry picked by clubs to sit on their panels and boards. "We feel this should form part of the legislation and not be left to the discretion of the Independent Football Regulator." Fair Game said a meeting will be held with democratically-elected supporter groups next week to hear their concerns for the future of football first hand.
