Swansea City swiftly set about altering other areas of their squad after concluding numerous defensive dealings early on in the summer transfer window.
The Swans have already added Harry Darling, Nathan Wood and Matty Sorinola to their ranks while they remain eager to sign a right wing-back. Following the spate of early business, Russell Martin has had far more moving parts to deal with when it comes to solving the midfield puzzle.
The club's owners remain eager to raise funds through player exits which in turn can help to lower the wage bill. But the midfield situation has taken a significant twist in recent days.
