Chairman Huw Jenkins has revealed Swansea City are in ongoing discussions with Neil Taylor over a new contract.

The Wales left-back has been a regular fixture in Garry Monk s side this season following the departure of Ben Davies to Tottenham.

Taylor s current deal expires at the end of next term and Jenkins told the South Wales Evening Post: That needs to be looked at between now and the summer; it s an obvious one for us to sort out.

Jenkins added:  With Neil, this is the first time for a long time that he has had a good run of games [after injury disrupted his 2012-13 season], and it always takes players time to get up to speed.

As the season has gone on and Neil has played more games, I think we have seen that he is getting back to his best.

Las Palmas striker Sergio Araujo has been sentenced to nine months in prison for refusing to take a breathalyser test, but he may not have to serve any time behind bars.

Araujo was also banned from driving for two years following an incident that occurred in the town of Ingenio on September 26, two days after he scored a late equaliser in a 2-2 home LaLiga draw with Real Madrid.

Reports in Spain say Araujo s defence attorney has appealed the sentence.

Back in September, Las Palmas president Miguel Angel Ramirez told Onda Cero the club would stand by the Argentine even if he was convicted.

Sergio s issue is non-sporting related and it will be the courts to determine if he has been negligent and the severity of the offense, Ramirez said.

Metalist Kharkiv are set to sign Argentine winger Alejandro Gomez from Catania, .

The Ukrainians have reportedly had a €7 million bid for the player accepted by the Serie A side, with the 25-year-old also striking personal terms with the club.

The 18-year-old became City s youngest ever goalscorer when he scored against Watford in the same competition last season and, after a handful of League Cup outings recently, he hopes to take advantage of a rare start.

Lopes has had to be patient at the Etihad Stadium with the likes of David Silva, Samir Nasri and Yaya Toure all playing in his preferred position, and he knows he must take the opportunity to impress Pellegrini this weekend.

Cup games represent a big opportunity for younger the players at the club and I m looking forward to being involved in more matches, he told City s official website.

Michael Tarnat believes Leroy Sane can become a star of the German national team if he maintains his fine form for Manchester City.

Sane moved to the Premier League club from Schalke, having featured in Joachim Low s squad at Euro 2016, for a fee understood to be worth in the region of £37million.

Manager Pep Guardiola has since acknowledged something clicked in that match and Sane netted in his next two appearances versus Tottenham and Crystal Palace.

Ex-Germany and Bayern Munich left-back Tarnat spent a season with City towards the end of his career in 20…

According to El Desmarque, Sebastien Corchia is on the verge of completing a loan move to Benfica. The 27-year-old defender is unlikely to get much game time with Sevilla this season, despite only arriving at the club back in 2017. He made the jump over to Spanish football from Lille, where he made over 100 appearances for the French side.

Benfica are said to be willing to spend €700,000 in order to actually secure the signing of the full-back, as Benfica go in search of reclaiming their top-flight title in Portugal.

One of the primary reasons behind Corchia s impending departure is the signing of Alex Vidal, who is expected to take up a starting role for the club. Corchia is a French international with just one cap to his name, but he ll be hoping that an extended ru…
