14:46Swansea are hoping to complete two, possibly three, signings before the transfer window closes, with a chunk of the Gylfi Sigurdsson money still available to spend. A deal remains in place for Wilfried Bony should Swansea wish to press the button and re-sign the Ivorian from Manchester City. Swansea, though, have other irons in the fire to cover both Bony’s and Chadli’s positions and are also looking at strengthening defensively. Swansea’s transfer business over the last few days will also be influenced to some extent by Fernando Llorente’s future. Llorente would be very much an Antonio Conte signing, rather than a Chelsea signing, and no more than a back-up player at Stamford Bridge.
