Former Sunderland striker-turned-pundit Kevin Phillips has questioned why star Ross Stewart would swap the Black Cats for Swansea City amid reported interest in the forward.
Our colleagues at the Daily Record stated last week that Swansea were one of a number of clubs keeping tabs on Scotsman Stewart, with Swans head coach Russell Martin having tried to sign the 25-year-old while he was at MK Dons.
Finances are likely to be a barrier in any potential deal for Stewart, with Sunderland adamant that they don't need or want to sell their top performers this month.
