Margetson Is Swans Target

Swans chairman Huw Jenkins confirmed the Swans interest by telling the Western Mail "We’ve looked at a number of keepers who are out of contract this summer and Martyn is one of them, "There has been some communication between us and Martyn, but at the moment we don’t know what Cardiff are up to. "There’s obviously something wrong because he became Cardiff’s first-choice goalkeeper last season and you would’ve thought they’d have signed him on straight away. "Kenny (Jackett, Swans boss) has made it clear he’d be happy to go into the new season without signing a new keeper, but we’d be delighted if someone of Martyn’s calibre was to fall into our laps. "It would be a reflection of how the club is moving on."

If the Swans were to snatch one of Cardiff’s top performers of last season it would indeed be a good move by the Swans and Margetston would prove to be a more than able replacement for Roger Freestone who was released at the end of last season.

"Another good thing about Martyn from our point of view is that he’s from the area," added Jenkins. "He’s a free agent, but we’ll just have to wait and see what happens with Cardiff."

It was reported in the papers over the weekend that Margeston may not sign the deal that the Bluebirds had put in front of him. We watch developments with interest.
