Midfielder open to Swans move as he talks about “big club”

The Swans have been handed a potential transfer boost with the reports that midfield target Noel Milleskog is open to the move to SA1 and sees the Swans as a “big club”.

It was just under two weeks ago that the name of Milleskog was first linked with a move to the Swans with reports at the time suggesting that we may have already lodged a bid to try and bring him to the Swansea.com Stadium.

Football Skanalen reports that Milleskog has been earning himself plenty of admirers after leaving Djurgårdens IF in January for first-team football at Sirius.  With stats that show six goals and four assists in seventeen appearances that in itself is not a surprise and it has been suggested that there could be plenty of other clubs interested alongside the Swans.

Dutch side Go Ahead Eagles and KV Kortrijk from Belgium are two already linked and Luke Williams himself has admitted his own admiration for the player.

However it is the words of the player that may be of interest to Swans fans now with the player saying “A lot has been written and rumoured, and I only take it as positive,

“I see it as a carrot to continue and take it as a sign that it has been a good season. There is nothing that affects me negatively, that I fly away or think about something else. My thoughts are one hundred percent in Uppsala and on Sirius. I take it as motivation.”

“It’s great fun,” he added when asked about Swansea and Williams’ comments.  “Then there seems to be something in it, if it has now come out so officially. It’s a big club with a lot of history, so I have to try to use that as a driving force going forward. I take that as a motivation.

“I feel great in Uppsala and in Sirius, so it is important to have a good deal for all three parties. It is important for me when I take the next step, that it should benefit me and Sirius. I want to give back for the trust and the chance that I have been given here.”

With the Swans keen to get this deal over the line and the player open to a move surely this is one that will progress in the coming weeks – watch this space?!
