No Gomez Bid As Liverpool Join Race?
Huw Jenkins denies a bid has been made for Jordi Gomez as Liverpool are rumoured to have joined the race for his signature
Weekend reports suggested that the Swans wer ready to smash their transfer record to bring Gomez to Swansea on a permanent deal at the end of his year long loan spell.
Swansea Chairman Huw Jenkins though was quick to discard the rumours and told the Evening Post "There is no bid for Jordi. As we have said all along Jordi's situation is going to depend on what division Espanyol are playing in next season and that is still a long way from being decided"
Meanwhile FansFC reported that Liverpool are ready to join the race reporting "Swansea's on-loan midfielder Jordi Gómez could be about to join Liverpool or Celtic on a permanent basis this summer.
"The 23-year-old has made quite an impression this season, being named in the PFA Championship team of the season.
"The Barcelona academy graduate has settled so well in the UK, he's unlikely to want to return to his parent club Espanyol at the end of this season.
"Celtic have been monitoring the player for some time and now Liverpool have joined the chase also."

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
