Darren Moore from Derby and Paul Anderson from Liverpool have both been named in the Evening Post as Swansea targets after much speculation on the message boards about the Swans interest in the pair.

Speculation has mounted for weeks that Moore – who has won four promotions to the Premiership – was in talks with Swansea and other postings have suggested that he has been at the stadium for talks in the past few days in what would be a massive boost to the Swans defensive capabilities.

Anderson is highly rated at Anfield after joining them for a fee that could rise as high as £1.5 million. Swans boss Roberto Martinez is very friendly with Rafa Benitez – his counterpart at Anfield and one of their FA Youth Cup winning side could be working his way to South Wales on a season long loan.

The club made no comment on the linking of both players with possible transfers but no smoke without fire and all that – especially considering the amount of rumours that have flown regards the pair.

”There are four or five players we need to make final decisions on and we’re well down the line with a lot of them.” Martinez told the Evening Post ”We have been aiming to get everything finalised by the Sunday before we go to Sweden, and that remains our target. ”It’s important to get the squad together as soon as we can so they can gel.” There are also suggestions one or two players could leave Swansea in the next few days. “If there is a situation where players feel threatened by the challenge of competing for their place, we will look into that situation.”
