Flanagan has starred for Sunderland this season, flourishing in several roles across the backline.

And his form is now rumoured to have attracted interest, with Graham Potter keen to recruit new faces as the Swans look to mount a push for the play-offs.

But Sunderland will no doubt be keen to keep hold of Flanagan - and several of their other prize assets.

Rumours continue to swirl around the likes of Josh Maja and George Honeyman, whose contracts are set to expire in the summer.

Indeed, fresh reports today suggest that Southampton are eyeing a move for Maja, joining a long list of rumoured admirers.
