Maxim boost

Swansea City could be boosted in any summer plans to land Stutggart’s Romania playmaker Alexandru Maxim as the German outfit face relegation from the Bundesliga.

The Swans made a late January window move for highly-rated 24-year-old midfielder Maxim only to see their £5m advances turned down by Stutggart with a claim he was not for sale.

But with the club bottom of the German top-flight heading into the final three games of the campaign, they know they may have to sell one of their prized assets – with Swansea in prime position.

Maxim admitted being flattered at Swansea interest in January having been on the Liberty radar last summer and it now remains to be seen whether Monk wants to add to his options in the attacking midfield role by making a move for the set-piece specialist.

Stutggart’s Bundlesliga rivals Koln are reported to also be on Maxim’s trail.

Swans in for Susic?

Swansea have again been linked with a move for Hadjuk Split midfielder Tino-Sven Susic. The 23-year-old Bosnia international is said to have been watched by Swansea scouts after he impressed in Euro 2016 action against Wales last October, but has also been linked to Leicester and West Ham while Inter Milan are also reportedly keen.

Could Brentford's Jota become a Swan?

Monk is chasing a wide option - Marseille’s out-of-contract Ghana ace Andre Ayew believed to be on the club’s list and Brentford’s Jota claimed by reports to be a target – as well as a back-up keeper. T

They had been tipped to make a move for Brondby’s Finland international Lukas Hradecky who is said to have a release clause of less than £1m, but there are suggestions he is ready to sign a new contract in Denmark.
