Swansea City defender Joe Rodon continues to be heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Numerous reports claim Spurs are about to table an official offer that could well include former Swans loanee Cameron Carter-Vickers.
The American international is a graduate of the Spurs academy and is highly thought of by Swans boss Steve Cooper.
We understand Cooper wants one centre back but will want two should Rodon leave, so a player-trade-plus-cash deal would go some way to assuaging Rodon's departure.
Some reports claim a bid of around £13m will be made, with others suggesting it will be more like £12m. There are even suggestions Spurs would be willing to loan Rodon back to Swansea for the rest of this season.
The Swans have remained tight-lipped on the matter, with no bid thought to have been received yet.
Rodon's former Wales and Swansea team-mate Andy King has backed the 22-year-old to make it to the very top.
“I’m not surprised,” said King on Sky Sports . “When I was at Swansea, I was on loan at the time, and he was one which they looked at and earmarked as going to be a big player, not just for Swansea but for Wales as well.
“I think that he’s beginning to show over the last year or so. He’s had a really good year with Swansea last year and he’s got all the capabilities these days of what he needs to be a modern-day centre-half.
“He’s good on the ground, good in the air and most importantly for some managers he is good in possession as well. He’s certainly got a massive future ahead of him, whether that’s at Swansea for another season or at Tottenham.
“From what I’ve seen I can definitely see him fitting in at a top team like Tottenham and I’m sure Swansea will be doing everything they can to keep hold of him in the next week.”
The domestic-only transfer window shuts at 5pm on Friday, October 16.
