Brendan Rodgers has targetted three more recruits before the transfer window closes
The Swansea City manager says he wants two defenders and a midfielder to complete his Premier League squad.
“We’re probably looking at a couple more defenders and a midfield player,” said the 38-year-old. “But Monday has not changed any view.
“Certainly the game told me a lot of positives about the group we have and I think we showed we have the capabilities at this level.
“No doubt it will be a tough ask but we’re here to fight and do that the way we know how which is by playing our way and if we can get three players in to reinforce that we will look into it.
“We want to ensure we have as much coverage as we can in all areas because after the window shuts that’s it.
“Midfield is a key part of our game and we have to ensure we have different types in there, ones who can control but also those who are combative and win the ball.”
Shaun MacDonald also appears to be on his way out of the club with Rodgers stating there had been interest from one or two clubs whilst David Cotterill has been told that he can find himself a new club and is deemed surplus to requirements.

Swansea City : The confusing decision making for a whole season It was a pretty poor end to what can only be described as a disappointing football season for Swansea City. The defeat to Millwall yesterday was a display that has frustrated Swansea City supporters all season. A lack of effort, intensity and desire rewarding the home support with yet another home loss.
Swansea City : Grimes misses a penalty in a return to bad old ways An error strewn and tepid Swansea display ensured thousands left the stadium before the staff and players did their usual walk around at this end of season game. It wasn’t a good look as two players received red cards and any effort by the home side was lost in a static and frustrating display.
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.
