Swans Looking At Aurtenetxe

Reports have surfaced in Spain that the Swans are looking at defender Jon Aurtenetxe from Athletic Club Bilbao with the reports suggesting that we are following up on an initial enquiry that we made back in the January transfer window.

With the recent capture of defender Franck Tabanou you could have wondered if our defensive line up was complete but if the reports are to be believed then it could not be the case with the Swans having asked for first option on the defender back in January but refused for it at that point in time.

Aurtenetxe, who can operate as a left-back or central defender, is amongst a list of players deemed surplus to requirements at Los Leones, who are now more willing to listen to offers this time around.

Espanyol and Levante are also rumoured to be interested in the player who only made seven appearances last season, four of which were in the league.

Aurtenetxe was subsequently loaned out to Celta Vigo for the entirety of the 2013-14 season, where he made 20 appearances in La Liga, but since returning to Athletic Club, his playing options have been limited.

I have to say I have to be convinced over the legitimacy of this particular rumour but as a youngster then it could be that we are using the player as potential succession planning so there is a chance that this one could have some mileage in it
