Swansea City transfer news as Euro club target Piroe in £10m deal and Martin wants Swans duo at Southampton

These are your Swansea City headlines on Sunday, June 11.

Italian side keen on Piroe

The Sun report Serie A side Salernitana are keeping an eye on Swansea's Dutch striker Joel Piroe.

Piroe is likely to leave south Wales this summer and Swansea will be looking to sell, with the 23-year-old entering the last year of his contract in SA1.

Swansea would not be able to afford to lose the hitman for free next summer, and a £10million move to Italy has been mooted.

It has been reported Premier League teams are keen on acquiring Piroe's services and the striker admitted recently it was flattering to know sides are interested in him.

"Whether I will stay in Swansea for another year? There is a lot of speculation, but it remains to be seen whether something concrete will happen," he told Eindhovens Dagblad last month.

"It is nice to hear that clubs are interested. I mainly look at where I can play a lot and continue to take steps as a football player."

Martin wants Swans duo

Sticking with the same publication, the Sun state Russell Martin wants to take Matt Grimes and Jay Fulton with him to Southampton.

The Swansea head coach's protracted move to St Mary's is expected to go through this week and Martin is reportedly keen to sign the duo to help in the Saints' attempt to get back to the Premier League.

The south coast outfit will likely see star names such as James Ward-Prowse leave the club this summer but they are expected to still splash the cash.

Grimes, 27, is Martin's trusted lieutenant on the field for Swansea and is vital to his manager's possession-heavy approach to the game. Twenty-nine-year-old Fulton has enjoyed a stunning turnaround under Martin, having initially been left on the periphery before becoming a mainstay under his compatriot.

Swans eyeing Manning replacement

Football Insider report Swansea and Preston are among clubs looking at Grimsby Town left-back Anthony Glennon.

The 23-year-old signed for the club last summer for Burnley and has caught the eye with his performances.

He came through the ranks at Liverpool and has been effective at both ends of the pitch, scoring three goals and providing nine assists

Swansea are in need of cover at left-back this summer, with Ryan Manning leaving the club as a free agent.

Kemy signs for new club

Former Swansea favourite Kemy Agustien has signed for Matlock Town.

The 36-year-old, who also enjoyed spells with Crystal Palace and Brighton, has agreed terms with the Northern Premier League outfit. He was previously with Hednesford Town.

“His CV speaks for itself, he’s nicely experienced having played in the Football League and the Premiership," said Gladiators chairman Martin Carruthers.

"He’s a very good footballer, very experienced and will be great in the dressing room. He’s just what we need, he’s great on the ball and will dictate play.”
