Soccer: Tom Jones linked with Swansea City buy-out

Tom Jones could be set to come to the aid of struggling Swansea City.

The pop giant is reported to be tabling a bid, believed to be around £7m, to take control of the cash-strapped club.

Ninth Floor, the holding company for the club, were tight-lipped regarding the situation, but refused to deny the speculation surrounding Jones' alleged bid.

A spokesman for Ninth Floor said: "We can neither confirm nor deny any deal at present.

"An announcement will be made when a deal is completed."

City, who are currently languishing second from bottom in the Second Division, would welcome an injection of funds as they bid to stave off relegation.

Multi-millionaire media tycoon Chris Evans was reported to have expressed an interest in buying the club last month, but the bid proved to be a hoax.

Should Jones take control his money would help clear the club's debts and provide some money in the transfer market for boss John Hollins.

Jones, currently on a world tour, was unavailable for comment.
