Past, present and future the thoughts of ex-skipper Thorburn WINGER HEADING FOR JANUARY EXIT

SWANSEA City are willing to listen to offers for winger Luciano Narsingh is January as the club look to cut costs by getting one of their top earners off the wage bill.

The Dutch winger joined the Swans in January 2017 and helped them avoid relegation from the Premier League under Paul Clement.

But he has failed to impress for the majority of his time in South Wales, and has found himself frozen out this season following the appointment of Graham Potter.

The former PSV Eindhoven man has not played a minute of first-team football this season. Indeed, he has yet to make a matchday squad.

His absence led to Potter having to deny suggestions the 28-year-old was being omitted because any further Swansea appearances would trigger an additional payment to PSV. Swansea had looked to offload Narsingh in the summer but were left frustrated when a £2 million move to Greek club AEK Athens fell through when personal terms could not be agreed.

It is understood the pacy wide man is on upwards of £50,000 a week putting him firmly among the highest earners in the squad, with Wilfried Bony leading the way on a sixfigure weekly sum.

Narsingh is out of contract in the summer and Swansea are keen to avoid losing him for nothing, and it is thought loan options – taking on part of all of his wages – as well as permanent offers would be considered although the latter would be the preferred outcome.

Swansea have no shortage of wide options with Daniel James, Connor Roberts, Barrie Mckay and Joel Asoro among those to feature.

Experienced heads Nathan Dyer and Wayne Routledge have also had game time on the flanks.

Swansea’s majority shareholders Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien had warned in September that, despite cuts being made to the playing staff over the summer, there would be further “hard medicine” for the club to take in the wake of relegation from the Premier League earlier this year.

Bony’s own future is far from certain despite his return from nine months out with a knee injury at Bolton last weekend.

The Ivorian’s wages are viewed as being unsustainable in the second tier and Swansea would be unlikely to stand in his way should there be interest in him.
