Swans Linked With Wood Transfer
So now it is Leeds United striker Chris Wood who is being linked with a move to the Swans with the papers reporting what could be a £20m interest with us amongst three Premier League clubs supposedly chasing the player.
If we did pull off a deal for Wood then it would mean that we have the Championship's two top scorers from last season in our squad with the addition of Tammy Abraham on a season long long already secured.
Given we are already in the market though fro Wilfried Bony and still have Fernando Llorente in the team it is difficult to see why we would want to spend a further £20m on a player not yet proven at this level especially as his game time may be limited.
It is also suggested that Stoke and Southampton are interested in Wood and are monitoring the progress although the price tag suggests that Leeds are unlikely to want to sell the player as they look to build on what was a decent campaign last time around.
Wood has been capped 52 times for New Zealand and averages a goal every other game for Leeds.

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.
