The ever increasing demand by people who want news on any player the Swans are linked with is building up to a real frenzy. Fans wanting any striker that the club are linked to are missing the point when it comes to Swansea City recruitment.

The amount of accounts on social media who have stated deals are nearly done or ‘on his way’, or the amount of accounts who keep mentioning players the Swans haven’t even been in for let alone made an offer is increasing. And it gets madder today. Aleksandar Mitrovic, now thirty with forty seven goals in fifty one games for Al-Hilal, and this guy is a proper striker, has been rumoured as a Swans target. Someone somewhere started this rumour, and as much as this thirty million euro striker would be simply stunning, it’s never going to happen. The desire for anything or anyone to be true has clogged this summer window, we have dismissed so many as nonsense people who read these pages will know exactly how it’s all gone. Leeds and Birmingham City seem to be locking horns tonight for his services.

Certain fans are now asking about the length of time it’s taking, where’s Marco Stamenic from Nottingham Forest ? Head Coach, Alan Sheehan has already talked of him as a Swans player on Saturday. This demand for information immediately from people who will criticise you at the drop of a hat is baffling. There needs to be discretion, thought for those who do work hard at revealing certain matters and also protecting sources seems to be lost in a minefield of entitlement and demands.

You can be rest assured if Alan Sheehan is talking about Stamenic then there’s nothing to be concerned about. Nothing at all. Look at all those players that we have discounted this summer, some resurface and in one case there has been additional interest.

⚽️ Karl Etta Eyong
This player is not the player who the Swans have been trying to bring in as a striker alternative. Definitely not the top target. We can’t confirm whether a loan offer was made, but that’s by the by, it’s not happening as of this evening. Suffice to say it doesn’t sound exactly right. Certain reports state he scored 19 goals for Villarreal last season, factually incorrect, that was for the B team. He’s played four games this season in La Liga with one goal. Ever get the feeling agents are so hard at work it’s obvious ?

⚽️ Kaide Gordon
Twenty year old Kaide spent last season at Norwich despite the Swans attending games to watch him beforehand.He moved onto Portsmouth in January but had a very difficult time. Recent reports on the player being of interest at this moment in time are inaccurate. Wethink it’s merely due to interest last summer. We can report the Swans have held no dialogue with Gordon, again of this evening. They weren’t that impressed last summer.

⚽️ As we reported a year ago.
Kaide Gordon needs more time by all accounts to decide on whether to come to Swansea or not. Ruben Providence, who couldn’t be any cheaper last week when Williams stated he liked many of his attributes as a player is still in limbo. How much time the Swans need seems odd ? After bigging the player up after his cameo role against Rio Ave, and then stalling on a deal, the club may well have made it difficult for themselves hence the length of time this is taking. Both Gordon and Providence remain targets.

More updates as we get them.
