Another Defender On Swans Radar?
Today's reports are that Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson is once again back on the radar of the Swans as they look at many options to strengthen the Premier League's most generous defence in the window.
it was widely speculated that Paul Clement would look to strengthen a defence that has conceded 45 goals in the 20 Premier League games we have played to date and already in the window we have had links to several defenders to do just that.
Yesterday it was reported that we were close to a deal for Norwich defender Martin Olsson and today it is a link with Jenkinson, who has featured just once for the gunners this season.
According to the Sun it is not just the Swans who are in the running with Aston Villa, Watford and West Ham also showing an interest and it is believed that Palace are closing in on the player with a potential £3m fee agreed for a player who has just 18 months left to run on his contract.
It is not the first time the Swans have been linked wth a move for Jenkinson - there was some speculation back in the summer of 2015.
The first half of the January transfer window always tends to be a quiet one with much of the action taking place in the second half and that appears to be the case for this one as well as speculation grows about potential moves.

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.
