SWANSEA CITY’S hopes of signing last season’s loan sensation Gylfi Sigurdsson look to be fading fast.

In the clearest indication yet that his future may not lie at the Liberty Stadium following Brendan Rodgers’ departure, Sigurdsson told Icelandic newspaper Morgunbladid that he does not expect to return to Swansea next season.

The 22 year-old Icelandic midfielder insists he would have liked to continue his career with the Swans but the loss of Rodgers to Liverpool has now muddied the waters.

And as the Swans look for a new manager, Sigurdsson seems more and more likely to move elsewhere from his current parent club Hoffenheim.

“It’s unclear at this moment where I will play,” he said. “I’d like to play on with Swansea since I was really happy there, but after Brendan Rodgers left the club for Liverpool the situation has changed.”

“I expect not to stay at Swansea with the uncertainty going on there and it’s not clear who will be the new boss.”

Sigurdsson has already been linked with a possible move to rejoin Rodgers at Anfield.

“I have said that my desire is to continue playing in the Premier League and Liverpool is a big club that has a glorious history.

“The English Premier League is the platform that I want to be on and hopefully I can continue to play in that division.

Sigurdsson insisted he has not had talks with Liverpool but added: “I got in touch with him (Rodgers) when he was appointed Liverpool manager. I wish him congratulations and thanked him for a great time at Swansea.”
