Russell Martin dropped the biggest hint yet that Morgan Whittaker could be the first arrival back at Swansea City this month.
Swansea haven't had the best of luck with loan deals in recent times, with Ethan Laird, Rhys Williams and most recently Fin Stevens being recalled from their respective stints in south Wales over the past year or so.
It seems now the boot might be on the other foot, with Swansea the ones considering pulling the plug on Whittaker's original season-long contract with Plymouth Argyle.
