He can offer as an eight, as a six, as a full-back as well," Matos added. "I think he's really happy here as well with us and that's really important." But Matos dismissed the West Ham link, describing it as "just a rumour". Matos, meanwhile, says that as things stand, loan signings Ishe Samuels-Smith, Kaelan Casey, Malick Yalcouye and Manuel Benson will all remain at Swansea beyond the January transfer window. Swansea go to Championship leaders Coventry City on 26 December with a near fully-fit squad, though centre-back Ricardo Santos will miss out with a hip problem.
