Swansea City were active on each of the first three days of the January transfer window.
Fin Stevens was recalled by Brentford, before Brandon Cooper was sent out on loan to Forest Green Rovers for the remainder of the campaign. And fewer than 24 hours after the 2-1 defeat to Championship leaders Burnley, Morgan Whittaker was recalled from his season-long loan deal with Plymouth Argyle.
But there could well be further exits from the Swansea.com Stadium this month. Here's a closer look at those who could move on.

Morgan Whittaker
Given the early recall deadline in Whittaker's loan contract with Plymouth, the Swans had to act swiftly if they wanted to end his stint at Home Park.
Whittaker was clearly unimpressed with the decision, and it's understandable given his improvement with the Pilgrims. Ultimately, though, he is Swansea's asset, and they have the right to either sell him or keep him in their ranks for the remainder of the season.
Which one of those scenarios unfolds remains to be seen, but if they are unable to sell other players (which we'll come on to shortly), then Whittaker will at least attract a decent sum which could go a long way to ensuring Russell Martin is able to sign his preferred transfer targets.
Michael Obafemi
The writing certainly appears to be on the wall for Obafemi who has not featured in either of the Swans' last two matchday squads.
After all of the struggles that occurred in the opening half of last season, we seem to be back at square one when it comes to the former Southampton forward.
While Burnley's highest offer for Obafemi in the summer fell significantly short of the Swans' valuation, the club may now be regretting not cashing in. We've seen how lethal he can be when fully focussed, so he will no doubt attract attention.
Jamie Paterson
As above in many ways. Paterson had a sublime impact in the first-half of last season after being given a lifeline by the Swans following a torrid summer.
But since his now infamous contract saga, Paterson has not been the same player. Indeed, the 31-year-old, is yet to register a single goal or assist for the Swans this season.
Paterson still has 18 months left to run on his deal, although Swansea will certainly be open to offers for the attacker.
Armstrong Oko-Flex
As with Obafemi and Paterson, Oko-Flex was not involved against either Watford or Burnley. The decision on his future lies in West Ham's hands, and while it may not quite be nailed on to happen, the Swans seem willing to allow the attacker to head back to the English capital prematurely.

Ryan Manning / Joel Latibeaudiere
Manning has been the perfect example for others to follow of late having been one of the side's best performers, despite his contract situation.
He will no doubt have admirers given his capabilities and his versatility, and while you can't categorically rule out an exit, there's every chance he sees out the season and leaves for nothing in the summer, or even that the Irishman signs fresh terms at SA1.
As for Latibeaudiere, he has been a regular under the current coaching staff, although, if the Swans do sign a specialist right-sided defender, the former Man City player may well fear for his place in the starting line-up.
Nathanael Ogbeta
Manning's situation could potentially be a factor, although Ogbeta - who is yet to play in the Championship this season - is clearly not a part of Russell Martin's first team plans at present.
Ogbeta remains under contract until the summer of 2024, but a loan departure remains possible this month given the interest he had in the summer.
Azeem Abdulai
As one of the senior figures in a youthful Under-21 side, Abdulai is now ready for men's football, according to Russell Martin.
The 20-year-old has regularly trained with the senior squad and made his first team bow in the Carabao Cup clash with Oxford United in August.
If an opportunity arises, Abdulai will be sent out for the remainder of the campaign, although there is clearly no rush when it comes to the versatile midfielder.
