The Daily Mail are reporting that the Swans are preparing a £6m bid for Sporting Braga striker Eder as we continue to be linked with most of the strikers available in Europe it seems.

Eder scored 10 goals in the Primeira Liga last season and has been capped 18 times for Portugal and certainly seems to fit the bill for the kind of player that the Swans would be interested in.

Bournemouth are already rumoured to have had a bid rejected for the player in the region of around £5m as they look to strengthen their own squad ahead of their first ever season in the top flight

The Swans we know are in the hunt for at least one striker in this transfer window although there is every chance that they will look to bring in two which - any departures allowing - could well signal the end of our summer spending with us having strengthened the squad so far in all the other positions that were needed.

We have been linked with several different strikers so far this summer with the likes of Jordan Rhodes, Troy Deeney and Giovanni Simeone all linked along with the unlikely target of Chelsea striker Loic Remy.

I still firmly believe that the name(s) of the striker(s) that we are really chasing are yet to be released although I have to say that the capture of someone like Eder makes more sense than most given his price tag and the fact that he may well be happy to not be guaranteed a starting spot every game and fight out for his chances alongside Gomis rather than automatically starting ahead of him or sitting on the bench.
