There has been much changed at Liverpool in the international break with a new manager at the helm for their draw with Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Saturday and that has led to transfer speculation already.
One of those players linked is Swans star Andre Ayew who was linked with a move to Anfield in the January transfer window.
It has been a pretty impressive start to the season for Ayew who joined the Swans back in the summer on a free transfer. He already has four league goals to his name this season and will look to build on that when Stoke arrive at the Liberty this evening.
But Swans boss Garry Monk is quick to dismiss that speculation and continued his normal line when players are linked with a move away that he is not thinking about it
"The speculation starts earlier and earlier every year, but I don’t think about it,” Monk told Wales Online
"There is no point in me focusing on things like that, things are not reality.
"The things I need to concentrate on are the things in front of me that are reality.
"Until anyone comes to me and says anything concrete it is not worth thinking about.
"It is part of the game, players get linked everywhere, every year. That is part of the job and I never focus on that.
"It is not my concern if he is a Liverpool fan or not. I could say there are 1,000 players I admire in the game, but is there any point in that?”
