Both players, who are not yet known, are attracting immediate attention from the former Newcastle scout Fuccillo, who will not be based in Swansea.

The former Luton and Peterborough manager agreed a deal to become the new chief scout at the Liberty Stadium earlier this week, bringing an end to his 18 month stay at St James’s Park.

“Defensively we’re looking at things and then like everyone, we want a striker that scores 50 goals a season,” the 53 year old told the Evening Post.

“I’m going to meet with the chairman to discuss finances so we can see what we can do.

“I left Newcastle because there’s so much turmoil, I could probably have stayed there and earned more money, but it’s never been about money with me — it’s about the job.

“There was instability, I didn’t know what was happening from one week to the next.

“I watched Swansea play at Coventry and they were a joy to watch. I couldn’t believe how much football they played and in every area.

“I had 10 years under David Pleat at Luton when we played great football and Paulo seems to have the same philosophy.

“That was a big factor in me joining. Paulo was a great player in his time, he’s still a young man and he’s got good ideas.

“I’ve already got one person in place in the south to scout some of our matches.

“We have to make sure we get the right players for Swansea, we don’t want to be putting square pegs in round holes.”
