There are barely two weeks of the summer transfer window remaining and Swansea City fans continue to have to wait for the Gylfi Sigurdsson saga to get sorted out and for the club to get on with the business of making further additions.

The frustration is palpable, and understandably so. It is nearly five weeks since Sigurdsson opted against heading to the United States with the rest of the Swans squad for their pre-season tour, he has not played for the club since and yet he remains on the payroll.

Add in the fact that exciting deals for former Swans stars Wilfried Bony and Joe Allen, as well as West Brom's Nacer Chadli, appear to be pending the sale of the Iceland international, and anxiety among supporters is understandable.

But what is the state of play with those potential incoming deals? How likely is it that all three end up in SA1 by the end of August provided, of course, that Sigurdsson leaves?

Here we take a look.

Wilfried Bony

This appears the most likely of the three deals to be completed with the majority of the details of a Liberty return for the Ivorian already in place.

Manchester City are keen to get Bony's £130,000-a-week salary off their books, and Swansea have moved to make it happen. Besiktas were also linked but they opted to sign another Swans target in Alvaro Negredo.

Bony is keen on a return having produced the best football of his career to date with the Swans and there is a confidence that personal terms can be sorted out should the Welsh club give the move the green light, if and when Sigurdsson goes.

It had initially been thought that the 28-year-old's return was dependent on Fernando Llorente leaving Swansea, but that no longer appears to be the case after Paul Clement made clear the Spaniard had told him he wants to stay in South Wales.

This is one deal that looks all but certain to go through.

Likelihood : 5/5

Nacer Chadli

West Brom boss Tony Pulis appeared to open the door for the Belgian to move to Swansea over the weekend when he spoke of the Baggies being ready to listen to offers for the former Tottenham playmaker.

However, Chadli will not be sold on the cheap given West Brom forked out £13million for his services just 12 months ago.

A figure of between £20million and £25million has been quoted for Swansea to land a player they have had their eye on for some time. Indeed, they have pursued Chadli since Michael Laudrup's first summer at the helm in 2012.

Clement has spoken of the need for versatility in advanced positions and Chadli fits that description with his ability to play as a number 10 or out wide.

A deal has yet to be agreed but there is an increasing confidence at the Liberty that the 28-year-old can be brought in should the Sigurdsson sale free up the funds to seal the deal.

Having said that, if Sigurdsson does not go, any move for Chadli will not take place.

Likelihood : 4/5

Joe Allen

Like Bony, Wales midfielder Allen was a man the Swans could, and perhaps should, have brought back to the Liberty last summer.

The playmaker was keen on a return to South Wales after four years at Liverpool and was in the form of his life after a series of fantastic performances at Euro 2016.

But Swansea missed the boat, and any deal this summer will cost more than three times the £8million they could have secured him for prior to last year's finals.

It is believed Allen would still be keen on coming back to Swansea, but it may have to wait for a future window with Stoke insisting they will hang on to him.

Swansea have already had a £20million bid rejected, but are thought to be prepared to up that offer in an effort to test the Potters' resolve.

There could yet be life in this one, but the time constrictions as the end of the window nears may mean this is one that has to wait.

Likelihood: 2/5
