Widell the talk of Swansea's hotline to Potter

Swansea midfielder Widell hopes kit staff can convince Sweden manager Potter to call him up after impressing at club level.

Melker Widell, a Swansea City midfielder, has earned one Sweden cap under Jon Dahl Tomasson but has not been called up since Graham Potter took charge of the national team in October. Potter, Swansea's former head coach, maintains contact with the club through long-serving kit men Michael Eames and Shaun Baggridge, who have been advocating for Widell's selection. Widell acknowledges Sweden's competitive squad depth but remains hopeful that continued strong performances at Swansea will earn him further international opportunities.
