Liverpool Midfielder Linked With Swans Return
Last week, Newcastle United took one former Liverpool midfielder off our hands but now, less than seven days later, we are being linked with a move for another one, albeit this time a former Swansea City player.
Joe Allen is being linked with a move back to the Liberty Stadium, possibly on a loan move, after failing to secure himself a regular spot in Jurgen Klopp's side.
Allen did score the equaliser against Arsenal at Anfield this week but it was a rare appearance for the former Swans man and that has increased speculation of his departure.
Allen is reported as wanting first team football, particularly with Euro 2016 just around the corner and it does look as if he will have to move away to make that happen.
The Sun reports that Swans Chairman Huw Jenkins "thinks the chance to go back to Swansea and be a big part of their fight for survival will swing the deal - despite Liverpool's injury crisis".
Despite many reports suggesting that the move could be a loan deal there is a suggestion that it could be a loan with a potential £8m deal that you would assume would be subject to us retaining our Premier League status in May.

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.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
