Manager makes striker transfer admission amid Nottingham Forest 'enquiries'

Swansea City boss Michael Duff has spoken about transfer interest in forward Joel Piroe.

Forest are said to have made enquiries over the Swans star but reportedly face competition from Everton and Leicester City. Piroe has approached the final year of his contract.

Our sister title, Wales Online claim that the Championship side are "bracing themselves" for bids this window, with Leicester looking to submit an offer. Forest and Everton meanwhile, are reportedly yet to firm up their interest with "a serious approach".

As speculation continues over the top goalscorer's future, Duff says he will be ready for any scenario ahead of the new season. "I had some good conversations with Joel at our training camp in Spain last week," Duff said.

"He was asking about detail in what I want from him. Until anything changes we will keep on having those conversations.

"If he goes, he goes, and if he doesn’t he stays – it is not personal, it’s football. I understand he’s the big name at the club and only has a year left on his contract.

"There will be plans in place in terms of the way we play if he stays, and plans for if he goes."
