be Josh Key from Exeter City who was a target of the Swans in the ill fated January window and that interest has carried forward into the summer window.<\/p>\n<p>Also being linked with the club in recent days has been Ellis Simms, the Everton striker who was on loan at Sunderland last season.\u00a0 \u00a0His price tag though could be a big stumbling block for the Swans unless he was to be part of a Piroe deal that would see our striker move to Goodison Park.\u00a0 \u00a0Whilst that is a possibility there has been little suggestion that there has been positive contact from Everton for Piroe which could mean that any player plus cash deal could be some time away from happening.<\/p>\n<p>We should not completely rule out that the Swans could make a move direct for Simms without needing to deal for Piroe at the same time but with the price on his head running into several millions then it would take a large chunk of our overall budget and still need a sale for Piroe to happen at some stage.<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty aligncenter\"><a id='KV7P23pLQjVFpYJ7wJSsgg' class='gie-single' href='http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1457651896' target='_blank'

that the Swans were ready to sign Key which increased speculation that it would be him that was the imminent signing but the initial suggestion was very much away from the young defender and that it was a forward who would be signed this week.<\/p>\n<p>As with all transfer speculation it is difficult to be able to put together all the pieces with so much rumour and misinformation available but one thing for us is certain is that there will be a second signing this week as we continue to build the squad ahead of the new season.<\/p>\n<p>Who it is?\u00a0 \u00a0As we always say, time will
