Swansea City transfer news Live: Updates as stance on Stoke City defender emerges

After so much optimism during the summer, Swansea City have endured something a difficult start to new season.

Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Luton Town has only heighted the pressure on Russell Martin's side, who now sit 20th in the table with two losses, two draws and one win so far.

Speaking after the game against the Hatters, Martin said he would "love" to have more signings on board, but effectively confirmed the Swans would have to sell before they can buy.

They have two away games now - Middlesbrough and Stoke City - and with the deadline looming, it could yet be a big summer for the Swans.

Stay tuned today for the latest updates.
