Here's your round-up of all the latest Swansea City news for Monday, June 16.
McBurnie set for Hull talks
Hull City are reportedly hoping to make a breakthrough in their pursuit of striker Oliver McBurnie this week, with the forward set to hold talks with Sergej Jakirovic.
According to our colleagues at Hull Live, the Tigers have been in discussions with the Scotland international since his departure from Las Palmas, following the Spanish side's relegation from La Liga.

The same report claims those talks have been positive, despite alleged interest from former club Sheffield United.
Should the Blades part with boss Chris Wilder, the chances of a return to Bramall Lane are viewed as unlikely.

Swansea have also held a tentative interest in the striker this summer, although at the time of writing there hasn't been any sort of approach.
It now seems that Hull are reasonably well placed to get a deal done, and it's believed a financial package between the two parties has been 'broadly agreed'
Norwich confident over Darling
Norwich City are reportedly growing increasingly confident of securing a deal for out-of-contract Swansea star Harry Darling.
A number of sides have expressed an interest in the 25-year-old, who's just confirmed he will be leaving the club.
As well as the Canaries, Birmingham City, Wrexham, Sheffield United, and Rangers have all expressed an interest over the last few weeks.
Swansea have improved their squad with the arrival of Cameron Burgess on a free transfer from Ipswich Town, however.
And Norfolk-based publication The Pink 'Un now claims Norwich, under the leadership of Darling's former boss Liam Manning, are leading the race.
The report claims that while a deal hasn't yet been signed, the club are "in the process of finalising a deal that will see them secure his services".
Fan forum raises thousands for charity
Swansea City have confirmed their recent fans' forum and charity fundraising evening raised £4,000 for charity.
The amount, which was raised during the event at Camarthen Town last week, will be split between Swansea Bay Health Charity's Cwtsh Clos appeal and The GO Jones Scholarship.
Supporters raised £1,645 on the night, while Swansea City Supporters Trust Chair Dave Dalton contributed an additional £1,000, with an additional £1,355 donated by Swansea Building Society.
'It's been a fantastic evening, and has raised some great money for two really good charitable causes as well,' said Paul Ashley-Jones Carmarthen Town AFC communities director. Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here.

'The scholarship funds academy places for disadvantaged children, and the money raised tonight will help fund a large number of places next season and we're delighted.'
Swansea City Supporters' Trust Chair, Dave Dalton, added: "It's been great to help arrange this event on behalf of Carmarthen Town. It's something the Trust are always looking to do more of as it undoubtedly helps supporters feel a closer connection to the club and directly ask questions that are important to them.
"To be able to add a fundraising element to the forum worked amazingly well too and to be able to raise £4,000 with the help of everyone who attended plus the generosity of Alun Williams and the Swansea Building Society made it an evening to remember."
