Laudrup poised for Swansea talks

Swansea manager Michael Laudrup will begin contract talks with the club's board in the coming days, according to his agent.



Laudrup's existing deal runs until the end of next season but Swans chairman Huw Jenkins confirmed last week he would like to extend the Dane's deal by 12 months.



Laudrup is happy in south Wales but recently stated his focus is on the present rather than the future and is in no rush to negotiate new terms.



Nevertheless, Laudrup's agent Bayram Tutumlu told Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet: "Yes, Swansea has a strong interest in extending Michael Laudrup's contract.



"In the coming days, we will meet with Swansea and discuss the possibility of an extension."



Laudrup is enjoying a good first season in charge of Swansea after replacing Brendan Rodgers in June.



The 48-year-old has led the Swans into the top half of the Barclays Premier League table and they are already just three points shy of the 40 widely regarded as the mark required to avoid relegation.



Laudrup has also guided Swansea to the Capital One Cup final at Wembley later this month, where they will face Bradford.

Michu signs new deal at Swansea

Forward Michu has signed a new deal at Swansea City that will keep him at the club until the end of 2016.



The Spaniard, who has scored 16 goals in 28 games so far for the Premier League side, has put pen-to-paper on an improved deal that is effectively a one-year extension of his previous contract.



"It was an easy decision for me,'' Michu told the club's official website. "I am living a dream here at Swansea.



"I'm probably enjoying my football more than ever. It's easy to play with this team and tonight I have the chance to reach the first final of my career.



"I'm really happy here in the city with the people, the club and the fans. Everyone has been so nice to me since I arrived.



"I think the club are happy with me because they have given me a new contract. I am certainly happy with the club.''

Swansea close in on Roland Lamah

Spanish newspaper AS is reporting that Swansea are in talks with Osasuna midfielder Roland Lamah.



Rather than resting on their laurels following a bright start to the season, Swansea officials are looking for ways to further reinforcing the squad.



With both Michu and Danny Graham linked with January exit, the Swans are keen to add few more players to their ranks during the winter transfer window.



According to AS, the Premier League side are closing in on Osasuna midfielder Roland Lamah.



The same source claims the player has been given permission by his club to negotiate personal terms with Swansea, with the transfer set to be completed in the coming days.



Lamah, 25, joined Osasuna from Le Mans in the summer of 2011 and quickly established himself as a first team regular.



The Belgian has made a total of 45 La Liga appearances for the club, and scored 3 goals.

Michu happy at Swansea

Swansea forward Michu has rubbished speculation linking him with a move away from the club, insisting he is happy in Wales.



Michu has made a huge impact since moving from Rayo Vallecano in the summer, scoring 12 Premier League goals.



His form has seen him linked with a possible quick-fire move in January, with Atletico Madrid one of the clubs mentioned but the 26-year-old insists he is not thinking about leaving the Liberty Stadium.



"Right now I'm happy, playing almost every minute and I'm very happy," he told Radio Marca.



"It is always nice that you get talked about with teams like Atletico Madrid, one of the largest in Spain, but now I am very happy in Swansea."



It has even been suggested that, with the likes of Fernando Llorente and Fernando Torres struggling for form in recent months, Michu could be in line for a Spanish call-up and Vicente del Bosque admitted this week he was looking at him given his goalscoring record.



"If that call comes, fine, and if not, then I just stay the same," he insisted.



"By now to have 12 goals is great, but above all I am enjoying what I am doing in Swansea. But here you have to battle as nobody gives you anything."



Swansea play Middlesbrough in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday and he admits he would love to play at Wembley.



He added: "Why can we not be there at the end? Hopefully, it would be nice to be at Wembley."

New Swansea deal for Davies

Teenage Swansea City defender Ben Davies has signed a new three-and-half-year contract with the Premier League club.



The 19-year-old left-back had 18 months left on his existing deal, but Swansea was keen to tie him to a long-term contract after impressing so far this season.



Davies was thrust into the first team after Neil Taylor suffered a broken ankle against Sunderland at the start of September, and his form was rewarded with his inclusion in Chris Coleman's Wales side for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Scotland and Croatia.



Davies told the club website: "I'm delighted to have signed a new deal here.



"It shows the faith the club has in me and I've been rewarded for my performances so far."



The Neath product has come up through the academy system with the Swans, and is looking forward to continuing his development at the Liberty Stadium after committing until June 2016.



He said: "It is more security for me and that will allow me to keep working as hard as possible to continue my development here.



"I have already learned a lot from not only playing, but by working hard in training with the manager, coaching staff and team-mates and taking as much advice as possible from them.



"It's a great time to be at Swansea City - whether you are a player or supporter - and I'm delighted to be a part of it."
