Swansea City make multiple bids for unnamed player as duo remain on radar

Swansea City have made multiple bids for a transfer target amid potential sales at the club.

Michael Obafemi, Jamie Paterson and Morgan Whittaker are among those who could be sold this month as Russell Martin looks to bring in other attackers to maintain his side's play-off push.

Indeed, the Swans have already turned down offers for both Obafemi and Whittaker while Paterson had attracted plenty of interest.

However, speaking ahead of his side's Championship clash with Sunderland on Saturday, Martin re-iterated that Swansea do not need to generate funds through player sales before being able to pursue their own transfer targets.

And the head coach revealed his side have already made two bids to sign a player this month.

"We've made two bids for a player that's not quite there," said Martin when asked if Swansea need to sell before buying this month. "Things have stalled a bit since then because both clubs are trying to get the best deal."

Rotherham United's Chiedozie Ogbene is a player firmly admired by the Swans - who are also hoping to add a right-sided defender to their ranks this month.

Leeds United forward Joe Gelhardt is also on their radar. Jesse Marsch's side are expected to send the 20-year-old out on loan before the January 31 deadline.
