Joe Allen's the key for Swansea
JOE ALLEN has pledged his future to Swansea, ending talk of a summer exit.
Wales midfielder Allen, 22, has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs including Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool.
But ahead of Swansea’s game against Wolves today, Allen, one of their shining lights in a successful debut season in the top flight, has given manager Brendan Rodgers a boost by revealing he is happy with life in South Wales.
He said: “The club has definitely helped my development. I can’t see why anyone would want to leave – we’re a team that’s moving forwards constantly under a manager with fantastic ideas.”
