Confident

Manchester City are optimistic about their chances of persuading Vincent Kompany to sign a one-year contract extension.

Txiki Begiristain, the director of football, held talks with Kompany and his representatives last month about extending his deal, which expires on June 30. More talks will take place after the FA Cup final against Watford.

One from the championship

Manchester United have emerged as frontrunners to land Swansea and Wales starlet Daniel James. Winger James, 21, saw a deadline-day move to Leeds collapse at the 11th hour in January when Swansea pulled out of the deal. But his continued eye-catching form for club and country has now alerted a number of Premier League sides, led by United and Liverpool.

Bournemouth and Newcastle United are among the clubs believed to have shown an initial interest, but no one has yet made a move to test Swansea City’s resolve to keep the player. James has been a stand-out performer for club and country this season, and his future has been the subject of fervent speculation in recent weeks, with Manchester City and Everton both previously touted as possible destinations.
