“We would love having him”: Eagles sign Swans standout Chad Warner as negotiations over a contract come to an end.

Sydney star midfielder Chad Warner is not in a rush to extend his Swans contract, even though his native state of Western Australia is becoming more and more interested.The 23-year-old has not yet committed to a long-term contract, as his value has increased dramatically with the top-ranked Swans sitting at 10-1 going into their round 12 bye.

Sydney, who supposedly have a contract on the table for the midfield player, is concerned.

Warner has a further 18 months left on his contract.

The postponed conversations have given West Coast time to prepare their offer.
