Michael Laudrup is relaxed over the rumours that link Joe Allen with a move to Liverpool
“I haven’t heard anything from Liverpool,” said new Swans boss Laudrup.
“If it comes to more than rumours then I am sure I will talk to the chairman about it, but it is a part of football.
“You have to deal with it, talk to the player and see what he wants. We all have our own positions, the manager, the club, the player and there are lot of things we have to look at. I want him to stay here because I think he is very important for the team, but we will have to deal with that when if becomes something more than rumours.
“I don’t know about the agreement, but of course I will do everything to keep the best players here.
“When that moment arrives and we have to deal with it then we will do it.
“For now it is only speculation.
“It’s all part of football,” added Laudrup, who took his first training session as Swansea manager yesterday.
“When players are doing well, especially because for Swansea last season it was their first season in the Premier League, then it (speculation) is normal.
“For the players who are not that well known at the highest level when they come up to the Premier League the other teams see they are doing very well.
“It is normal there will be interest, but we want to keep our best players here for sure“Part of football is that players will leave because the offer is too big for the club and the player.“It’s not something you can avoid 100% you have to accept that it’s part of the game and you deal with it when the time arrives.”
