Swansea City have denied making an official offer for Edouard Duplan, the Utrecht winger, and claimed they were eyeing other players in the summer transfer window.
The club chairman Huw Jenkins confirmed that the English Premier League side had not yet made an offer for the 29-year-old winger. He admitted they were interested in the player but had not yet made any bids to Utrecht in the current transfer window.
Jenkins said in an interview:
“We haven't submitted any bid to Utrecht, I don't know where this story has come from. As a club we're aware of him but he is only one of a host of players that have been mentioned.”
It was the Utrecht director Wilco van Schaik who revealed while talking to reporters that the English Premier League side had made a bid for the French winger, which had been rejected by the Dutch side because they did not wish to part ways with Duplan.
Duplan currently has one year remaining on his existing contract and with no talks going on between the player and Utrecht, he has been linked with a move away. Swansea City are reportedly amongst the various sides interested in signing the winger.
It is true Swansea City are on the look-out for a winger, especially with Scott Sinclair’s future at the club uncertain. The former Chelsea winger has been linked with a move away from the Premier League side after manager Brendan Rodgers left to join http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809.
While Swansea City have appointed a new manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Laudrup, talks are expected to take place between the club and Sinclair to determine the player’s future with the club. Sinclair will be out of contract next summer and reportedly wants a move away
in the current transfer window.
Laudrup will be instructed to do everything to retain Sinclair, who joined the club while they were still a Championship side in 2010 from Premier League giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. However, Swansea City will be looking for a possible replacement if they are unable
to retain Sinclair.
Amongst other options, Duplan is a good choice to bring to the team.
