Swansea City boss Russell Martin insists Joel Piroe is happy at Swansea City, despite ongoing speculation around the striker's future.
Piroe was widely expected to depart this summer, with club sources initially pessimistic about Swansea's chances of keeping hold of the Dutchman, who enjoyed a fine breakout season in the Championship last term which yielded 21 goals. Needing a significant sale to plug a gap in their finances, there was previously an acceptance Piroe would likely be on his way to pastures new, with the Premier League touted as his most likely destination.
Leicester City were mentioned as possible suitors earlier in the transfer window, but sources in the East Midlands have long doubted the strength of the Foxes' interest, while Brighton and Hove Albion, under the guidance of former Swans boss Graham Potter, are the most recent name to have been linked. However, sources on the south coast are similarly doubtful.
