Swansea City make €1m offer for Brazilian star as report emerges and transfer latest revealed
Swansea City make €1m offer for Brazilian star as report emerges and transfer latest revealed The Swans were believed to be keen on adding the centre-back to their ranks this summer David Sousa pictured in action during a soccer match between Royal Francs Borains and RWD Molenbeek (Image: Getty Images ) Swansea City have reportedly had a bid knocked back for Molenbeek's Brazilian centre-back David Sousa. According to The Athletic, the Swans made an offer worth £858,000 for the 23-year-old, which is believed to be below the Belgian club's valuation. Sousa currently has one year left on his current deal with Molenbeek, where he was a regular last season, making 28 league outings. Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here. It seems he's seen as an important first-team player by his current employers, but Swansea are believed to be reluctant to match their asking price. As such, the deal now isn't expected to progress any further. However, the Swans are still keen on bringing some new faces into the building before the start of the season, having already brought four new signings on board this summer. Article continues below Centre-backs Cameron Burgess and Ricardo Santos have already arrived, while Bobby Wales and Zeidane Inoussa have helped strengthen Alan Sheehan's attacking options. Playmaker Melker Widell, who signed in January, has also linked up with the squad after he was loaned straight back to former side AaB. Another defender is among the list of current priorities heading into the next few weeks, ideally one capable of filling in at either full-back or wingback, with Josh Tymon, Josh Key and Sam Parker currently the only wide defensive options. A central midfielder is also high on the list. Lewis O'Brien is still very much a figure of keen interest, but while rivals Hull City are reportedly ready to move on to other targets, a move to south Wales still appears unlikely at this stage given the level of competition for his signature. Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is believed to want a figure close to £8m for O'Brien, a valuation that would clearly be beyond the Swans, but there's already a feeling his stance could soften. Whether O'Brien's value could come down to a point that's considered doable for Swansea remains to be seen, however. Elsewhere, Leyton Orient's Ethan Galbraith is still on the radar after the club made further enquiries this week, while Israeli midfielder Gabi Kanichowsky has also been the subject of interest this summer. Both, however, are merely among a number of options that have been considered. Sign up to the Swansea City WhatsApp service to get breaking news and top stories sent to your phone. Swansea's search may well go up a notch should any departures materialise. Ollie Cooper has already been linked with an exit, while there have similarly been question's over Jay Fulton's future. The same can be said for returning loanee Jerry Yates, who seems likely to leave should the right offer come in this summer. Article continues below With Mykola Kuharevich already out the door, a move for Yates would likely accelerate the search for a striker, with Oli McBurnie among the options currently being considered.

Road conditions after snowfall in western Mass.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – While some western Massachusetts residents are gearing up for this weekend's storm, others say that at this point, they're well prepared for those flakes to fall. Another winter storm is heading for western Massachusetts for the second weekend in a is expected to begin as early as 1:00 p.m. in parts of the region on Saturday, and a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect, lasting until 7:00 p.m. on Sunday. Ahead of this weekend's storm, residents are saying they feel like they've seen more snow than in recent years, and now they're prepared for what's to come. List of parking bans ahead of incoming snow storm on Saturday 'To see everybody ice skating and ice fishing on the ponds, it's been at least a few years since I've seen that,' said David Sousa of Springfield. 'If it's really bad, I'll stay home.' While the DPW will be working to salt roads, you should also salt your driveway and walkways to create traction on icy surfaces. If you have to drive, clear your vehicle off completely before leaving. Check your snow removal equipment, and make sure your snow blower is working properly. Ron Zafur, the store manager at Rocky's Ace Hardware told 22News that you're going to want to work to maintain the snow as it comes down. 'I'd get out there and get it shoveled away as fast as it comes in,' Zafur said. 'You know anything that you leave has an opportunity to freeze overnight.'Possible freezing rain on Sunday brings a higher risk of power outages. Make sure to charge your electronic devices, and have batteries, flashlights, and blankets on hand just in case. If you have to drive on icy roads, understand that plows and salt trucks will continuously maintain them, so share the road and give them enough space to get by. Make sure you're dressed warm and be safe out there.
