Reading have struggled for the majority of this season, and Jose Gomes' side are well and truly in a relegation dogfight with just six games remaining of the season. 

They have struggled for consistency in this year's league campaign, which has seen them fighting for their lives around the bottom three in the Championship.

If you compare Reading's squad compared to the rest of their relegation rivals, they have a considerable amount more quality in their side.

One player who has been impressive for the Royals in recent weeks is John Swift, and his good run of form seemingly hasn't gone unnoticed.

Promotion-chasing, Leeds United have reportedly registered their interest in signing Swift in the summer as they prepare for next year's campaign according to the Football Insider. 

We look into the THREE potential paths Swift's career could take after this latest transfer rumour.

Stay with Reading for one more season 

There's no doubting that Reading haven't performed to the standard that was expected of them at the start of this season.

The quality in this Reading squad is there for all to see, but for one reason or another, they simply aren't clicking together as a team.

But Swift could be willing to give them one more season, as they could certainly challenge for promotion next season with him in their side.

Remain patient and see if other clubs register their interest

Leeds' interest is the first we have heard over Swift's potential exit, but he could be tempted to look into other options instead of 'jumping ship' at the first opportunity.

There are sure to be many other potential suitors for his signature in the summer.

Sign for Leeds United in the summer

Leeds are the first club to have registered their interest in signing Swift, and it'll certainly be a tempting offer for the former Chelsea midfielder.

Leeds are a huge club with a considerable amount of success at the top in their history and he could be tempted to join Marcelo Bielsa's side.
