Swansea City are said to be keen on luring the Premier League man to South Wales this summer. They are preparing for their first full season under the guidance of head coach Vitor Matos and are in the hunt for some new faces.
Mfuni, 18, has been linked with a move to Derby County in this transfer window and Manchester City have a big decision to make on what to do with him next. He spent the second-half of the last campaign with Watford in the second tier and went on to make eight appearances in the league during his time at Vicarage Road.
In this latest update regarding his situation, the Swansea Independent claim he has emerged on Matos’ radar as he searches for reinforcements over the coming weeks. They will be eyeing a place in the Championship play-offs next term if possible.
Swansea City finished 11th in the table last time around and they were nine points off the top six in the end behind Hull City. They won 3-1 at home against Charlton Athletic on the final day.

Swansea City defensive department latest amid links to Manchester City youngster Stephen Mfuni this summer
Swansea City could see Mfuni as someone to bolster their defensive department. If he joined the Swans, he would offer them more competition and depth at the back.
The fact he is left-footed means he would add good balance to their backline. At the age of just 18, he has bags of potential and has a very bright future in the game.
Matos has a few different options to pick from in this area. Mfuni would compete with Ben Cabango and Cameron Burgess for a place in his starting XI.
Manchester City will want him to go somewhere he is guaranteed regular minutes. Swansea City could offer him that and a platform to show more of what he can do in the second tier off the back of his Watford stint.
