5 Potential Replacements for Liverpool Bound Joe Allen

Esteban Granero

Another Real Madrid youth product finishes off the list of five. Esteban Granero would be a hallmark signing for Swansea if they could pull it off and their current setup could be an attractive offer for the Spaniard. Laudrup's links to Real would be influential to the player and his style fits Swansea to a tee. Comfortable on the ball, an accurate passer and effective in front of goal, Granero would be a key player and wouldn't take long to fit in to the Swansea side. With the incoming £15m transfer fee for Allen, the initial fee shouldn't be a stumbling block - which is believed to be in the region of around ‚7m - however wages could prove to be difficult with Huw Jenkins keeping a tight watch on the clubs wage budget. A loan move could lower the wage requirement for the player but Laudrup is keen to find a permanent solution in his search for a replacement.
