Swansea City PROFILE

FRANCESCO GUIDOLIN reckons Swansea City will need 40 points to survive in the Premier League.

Michu has claimed he wants to play for Swansea again – just three months after severing ties with the club. The striker is playing in the fourth tier of Spanish football as he rebuilds his career after two seasons wrecked by ankle problems. And Michu, 29, insists if he does make a comeback in the […]

By Ian Gordon Jack Cork has urged Swansea to sort out their set-piece woes if they want to win their relegation scrap. The Swans have conceded from dead-ball situations for the past three games and it has cost them a vital four points in the last two matches. Cork reckons the Welsh outfit could already […]

Francesco Guidolin has warned his Swansea City team they could still be relegated. The Italian was unimpressed by the side’s 3-0 defeat at Newcastle United on Saturday which has left them still mathematically vulnerable to the drop.

Swansea City’s new owners have revealed they have bought “around 68 per cent” of the club and could yet splash out on Joe Allen. Jason Levien – one of the two Americans who have completed their £75m purchase of a controlling stake in the club – confirmed their slice at a press conference on Friday morning.

Ashley Williams is expected to complete a £10m move from Swansea City to Everton on Wednesday – part of a central defender transfer chain Mick McCarthy has called “bonkers”. The Swans skipper is understood to be close to signing for the Merseysiders, rather than returning to the Liberty Stadium from his extended break following his efforts with Wales at Euro 2016.

Gylfi Sigurdsson has been hailed as the man who turned Swansea City around last season as the club ponder what to do about Ashley Williams. The Swans rejected a bid of £10m for Williams from Everton on Tuesday night but are expected to be presented with an increased offer for their captain.

Swansea City’s planned capture of Fernando Llorente is set to open the door for Andre Ayew to join West Ham. Spain striker Llorente, 31, has held talks with a number of clubs and Sevilla revealed on Wednesday they are close to agreeing a deal with one of them, believed to be Swansea.

Fernando Llorente wants to become Swansea City royalty at the Liberty Stadium and emulate fellow Spaniard Michu. Llorente – nicknamed The Lion King at former club Athletic Bilbao – intends to match the impact of his countryman, who was an instant success in Wales before injuries disrupted his career.

Borja Baston wants to prove Diego Simeone wrong at Swansea City and become the club’s new Michu. The 23-year-old – who could make his Swansea debut at home to Hull City on Saturday – was let go by Simeone and Atletico Madrid to become the Swans’ record £15.5m signing, even though he smashed 18 goals in La Liga last season, on loan for Eibar.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is the jewel in Swansea City’s crown who manager Francesco Guidolin feared would be stolen. The Icelandic midfielder is set to start for the Swans at home to Hull City on Saturday after he began on the bench in last week’s opening Premier League win at Burnley.

Leon Britton has signed a new contract with Swansea City that will take him to just short of his 36th birthday. The Swans midfielder – arguably their most influential player of the past decade – has agreed a new deal through to the end of next season.
