Former Rangers target Morgan Whittaker has been hailed by Russell Martin after the forward finally got his Swansea career off the ground.
The 22-year-old impressed in the first half of the campaign on loan in League One with Plymouth Argyle, before he was recalled by the Swans in January but was not immediately handed a first-team opportunity. Instead, he was kept on the fringes of the squad, rarely making Martin's matchday squad, but his form in the English third tier attracted the eyes of Rangers.
Michael Beale spoke openly about their interest in luring the attacker to the Scottish Premiership but Swansea knocked back a series of bids while Whittaker attempted to force a move north of the border. He ruled himself out of the clash with QPR when Martin had planned to include him for the fixture, but in the end a deal could not be struck and Whittaker remained in Wales.
