Swansea City will be determined to head into the play-off shootout in some kind of form and have the opportunity to do that in the final weeks of the season.

A top-two spot is all but gone now with their recent poor results combining with the scintillating form of Norwich and Watford, leaving them likely with too much to do.

Even so, they beat Millwall at the weekend to get a much-needed three points and now they'll be eager to try and build on that.

Regardless of what division they are in for next season, though, a big summer awaits the club with plenty of changes possible.

With that said, we look at eight players that could well leave the club this coming transfer window for one reason or another...

George Byers is currently out on loan at Portsmouth and it remains to be seen what is going to be decided for him in the summer transfer window.

He joined Pompey in the January market earlier this year but perhaps hasn't had the consistent amount of appearances at Fratton Park that he, and both clubs, would have liked.

Indeed, he's turned out just six times in the league for Pompey as the battle for promotion in League One and he'll just be looking to show what he can do between now and the end of the campaign to either show Swansea he has a future there or to attract other suitors.

Barrie McKay is up next on our list.

The winger was once a really bright attacker in the Sky Bet Championship and even started off his Swansea career in decent nick but things have once again stalled for him.

He's currently out on loan at Fleetwood Town with the Cod Army having a pretty nondescript year in League One this season.

For large portions of this campaign, he has been used as a sub for just smatterings of minutes but, in fairness to him, a recent goal against Wimbledon earned him the full 90 against Rochdale.

Is he going to make a late surge this season and show the Swans he needs to be kept? Time will tell...

Declan John is having a really productive loan spell at Bolton Wanderers at the moment and this could feasibly pave the way for something more permanent being agreed with the Trotters.

He has been a regular in their defence as they've surged into promotion contention in Sky Bet League Two and, particularly if they go up, manager Ian Evatt may well want to keep him around for longer than the end of this season.

That is a conversation to be had and you can certainly see it falling in the Trotters' favour with his contract coming to an end with Swansea at the conclusion of this current season.

Wayne Routledge finds himself in a similar position to the one he was in last year and time will only tell as to whether he puts pen to paper on a further year-long extension.

That's exactly what he did last season and, of course, if Swansea do not offer it or he decides to move elsewhere then he'll be going down the released on a free route.

He's been a top servant to the Swans over the years and still has something to offer at the end of his career but dwindling game time in south Wales could be the factor that sees him move on - we'll have to wait and see.

Josh Gould is up next on our list with the goalkeeper spending time on loan earlier this season at Welsh side Barry Town.

The goalkeeper signed a contract back in 2020 that runs until 2022 but at the age of 24 perhaps he'd be wanting to think about a move this summer and start getting more regular minutes.

Freddie Woodman (though admittedly only on loan,) Ben Hamer and Steven Benda all stand in his way at the moment and an exit could be something he has given thought to.

He could be a handy goalkeeper for the right club and it remains to be seen just where his career takes him.

Jamal Lowe kicks off the final part of this list that names three players that could well end up leaving the club if the Swans do not achieve promotion this season to the Premier League.

Lowe has had to share the goal-scoring burden with Andre Ayew in the absence of an out and out striker and has done a decent job with him hitting 11 goals in the Championship so far this season and also bagging a brace last time out against Millwall.

He's certainly a player that could make the move to the Premier League in the future and even if this year is a season to soon for him for that - if Swansea do not go up - stranger transfers have certainly happened.

Ben Cabango is a top young defender and one that you could easily see being snapped up by one of the Premier League clubs in the summer window if Swansea are not going to be joining them.

He's been a regular this season at the centre of defence despite his young age and that clearly draws comparisons with Joe Rodon who made the move to Spurs last year.

He's clearly a talented young defender and the only hope the Swans will have going into the summer if they do not go up is that they can convince him he needs another year at Championship level to keep improving and learning.

Andre Ayew completes our list.

Swansea have done well to keep hold of the Ghanaian for this amount of time in the Championship already but will he want to spend another season in the second tier if they do not manage Premier League promotion.

He is a player with so much to offer in the final third with 15 goals in the league this season and a further three assists underlining that.

At 31 he still has so much to offer and if no Premier League football is on the table at Swansea next season who knows what he might opt to do.
