Swans have eyes on January targets - Williamspublished at 16:33 8 November
Image source, Huw Evans Picture AgencyLuke Williams says Swansea City have January transfer targets in mind as they look to build on a promising start to the season.
Williams has challenged his players to push for a Championship play-off place in 2024-25 after successive league wins lifted them to ninth in the table.
Swansea's head coach is working with a relatively thin squad – and says the club are looking at the possibility of trying to strengthen in the mid-season window.
"We’ve got some players who potentially would be a good fit for us and we will continue to monitor them as they play games and try to get a really good grasp on whether we think those players are the ideal ones for us," Williams said.
"That work has begun already."
Williams says that while performances leading into January will have an impact on transfer plans, there are some areas where Swansea need greater options.
"Some of the scenarios don’t change whatever is going on because there potentially are gaps in the depth of the squad," he added.
"I think we have a good idea of what’s out there and which players we can realistically sign, so that’s good."
It remains to be seen whether a probable change of ownership at Swansea will lead to any change of approach when it comes to transfer policy.
Last summer, the Championship club focused primarily on recruiting young players with the potential to develop in cheaper overseas markets, though they did bring in experienced defender Cyrus Christie earlier this month.
