Port Vale rumour: Valiants linked to Swansea striker

Website Planet Swans says Port Vale are favourites to sign striker Josh Thomas on loan.

According to the website:

It looks like Port Vale may have beaten Northampton Town and Shrewsbury Town for the signature of Josh Thomas who is set to exit the Swansea.com Stadium on a loan deal for the new season.

Highly rated within SA1, Thomas was a regular scorer in the early pre-season games but the arrivals of Jerry Yates and Mykola Kuharevich will see his time limited within the club and the Swans are keen to see the next stage of his development take place with regular football.

The young striker has been with Swansea since the age of 12 and has been prolific for their youth teams. The 21 year-old is a Wales U21 International.

Vale have yet to add to their forward ranks, with Ellis Harrison the only contracted senior striker, and the club will be keen to strengthen ahead of their first fixture.
