Swans close in on Lansbury loan
Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed the club are close to landing Henri Lansbury on loan from Arsenal.[LNB] The 19-year-old midfielder, who has also been linked with Leeds, is regarded as a hot prospect for the future and impressed while on loan at Watford in the Championship last season.[LNB]Rodgers describes Lansbury as a "wonderful young player", and admits it would be fantastic if he makes the switch to the Liberty Stadium.[LNB]"Henri is a wonderful young player who did well in the Championship last season," he told the South Wales Evening Post. "To get a terrific talent like him into our group will be fantastic for us.[LNB]"He is very highly thought of at Arsenal and one thing you know with Arsene Wenger is that he will give young players an opportunity.[LNB]"If Arsenal feel he is one for the future, I'm sure he will be around at the club for a few years.[LNB]"The worst-case scenario is that there comes a point in a player's career where he has to look elsewhere.[LNB]"We have seen that with Scott Sinclair, and over the next couple of years Henri will have to see if he feels he is going to get a chance at Arsenal. If he does not, he may then have to find a home somewhere else."
