Kasey Palmer joined Bristol City for a reported fee of £ 3.5 million in the summer of 2019 having previously played for the club on loan.
Cardiff City have become a serious candidate to sign Wales forward Harry Wilson with Swansea City set to land Kasey Palmer.
Swansea had been in talks about a deal for Wilson, but was unable to agree on a loan package with Liverpool.
Instead, they will sign Palmer from Bristol City on loan, and Cardiff hopes to win the race for Wilson.
The 23-year-old Wilson has attracted the interest of several championship clubs ahead of Friday’s transfer deadline at 17:00 BST.
The 19-game international came close to a permanent move to Burnley earlier this month, but the window for deals between Premier League clubs has now closed.
Swansea was seen at one stage as the favorite to sign Wilson, but financial constraints prevented a deal with Liverpool from being reached.
But they have agreed to take on 23-year-old former England Under-21 international midfielder Palmer, on loan from Bristol City after trying to sign him last summer.

Wilson, who is eager for playing time before next summer’s Euro 2020 final, played the Premier League for Bournemouth last season, scoring seven goals as Eddie Howe’s side dropped from the top flight.
He had a successful Championship loan stint with Derby County in 2018-19, scoring 18 goals when the Rams reached the play-offs with Frank Lampard.
If he joins Cardiff, Wilson will join Welsh forward Kieffer Moore.
Cardiff had been interested in a deal for Barnsley forward Cauley Woodrow, but manager Neil Harris has said permanent deals are unlikely before the deadline due to the financial impact of the coronavirus.
The Bluebirds will have to pay a substantial loan fee for Wilson.
Palmer is expected to complete a move to Swansea on Friday, as is Manchester City defender Joel Latibeaudiere.
Tottenham Hotspur are eager to sign Joe Rodon from Swansea, but the two clubs are still far apart over the value of the Wales defender.
Cardiff could also look to sign a right back on the day of the deadline, with the Wolves’ Dion Sanderson a potential target.
