Swansea have attempted to sign Cody Drameh on loan from Leeds United in this window, we understand.
The 20-year-old excelled during his stint with Cardiff City last term, winning the club's Player of the Season award, and recently travelled with the Whites' first team on their pre-season tour of Australia.
However, it's understood the Elland Road side were only willing to sell Drameh, with Swansea unable to meet their valuation of the London-born full-back.
The Swans' former youth coach Cameron Toshack is currently an assistant to Leeds boss Jesse Marsch and is only too aware of Swansea's style of play, although the touted finances ensured a potential deal swiftly came to a firm halt.
