I have to say that I am still unconvinced on the legitimacy of the Swans ร‚ยฃ11m bid but with Newcastle allegedly in at a figure ร‚ยฃ2m higher than that it is probably somewhat irrelevant if the Serbian striker is to end up in the Premier League for next season.

Newcastle and Swansea appear to be being linked with many striker moves this summer but Belgian newspaper HLN claims claim the Swans offered รขโ€šยฌ15 million for Mitrovic but that Anderlecht are holding out for a greater fee.

It is though also reported that there is interest from other clubs in Europe with reports in German suggesting that Borussia Monchengladbach are also in the hunt for the striker who scored 20 league goals last season.

Anderlecht have also not given up hope of holding onto one of their prized assets with general manager Hermann van Holsbeeck insisting the club do not want him to leave

รขโ‚ฌล“At 20, Mitrovic has scored 20 league goals this season (2014-15).

รขโ‚ฌล“He scored against Arsenal, (Borussia) Dortmund and has also played for Serbia รขโ‚ฌโ€œ this is a striker who you know can really improve a side.

รขโ‚ฌล“Therefore we have decided against selling him รขโ‚ฌโ€œ Mitro is aware and he wants to stay.รขโ‚ฌย
