Swans close in on Lansbury loan

Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed the club are close to landing Henri Lansbury on loan from Arsenal. 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.Rodgers describes Lansbury as a "wonderful young player", and admits it would be fantastic if he makes the switch to the Liberty Stadium."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."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."If Arsenal feel he is one for the future, I'm sure he will be around at the club for a few years."The worst-case scenario is that there comes a point in a player's career where he has to look elsewhere."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."
