Swans midfielder emerges as a trade target for Carlton
By
George Hewett has emerged as a possible trade target for Carlton.
The Sydney midfielder is a chance to leave the Swans at the end of the season after eight years at the SCG.
While Adam Cerra has been strongly linked to a move to Ikon Park, the Blues also have some interest in Hewett.
Hewett, 25, qualifies as a restricted free agent in this year’s exchange period, given he is in the final year of a deal understood to be worth around $500,000 in 2021.
The Swans briefly explored a trade for Hewett last year in the hope they could get something back before he becomes a free agent at the end of this season. Hewett also wanted to stay in Sydney.
