Despite Garry Monk claiming that Swansea City’s summer transfer is business is over, the Swans are remaining to be linked with a few players. Today’s newest rumour, is that we are after Benfica’s Filip Djuricic.

Despite it being a very unlikely move, O Jogo claim that Swansea have joined Newcastle, Watford and Bournemouth in the race to acquire the Serbian midfielder. Djuricic spent a period of last season on loan at Southampton, making nine appearances for the Saints and featuring in crucial fixtures against Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City.

Djuricic signed for Benfica in 2013 for 8 million euros, but has failed to justify his price-tag in his two years there. He was bought by the Portuguese club to succeed Argentinian legend Pablo Aimar, but hasn’t lived up to expectations at Benfica’s Stadium of Light. The 22-capped Serbian international is still only 23 however, and showed some promising signs whilst on loan to Bundesliga club Mainz in 2014. Djuricic is a versatile midfielder, who predominantly plays as an attacking midfielder, but can easily perform on either wing to utilise his decent pace.

Having made his name in the Eredivisie with Heerenveen, Djuricic is close to Swansea’s new goalkeeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt, but despite this, I’m sure we can take Monk’s word for it that there’ll be no more incomings into SA1.
