Swans To Get More Brandy

Last updated : 21 July 2008 By Tycoch Jack
Roberto Martinez has hinted that Febian Brandy will join up with the Swans, on loan from Man Utd, before the start of the season.

With the departure of Darryl Duffy to Bristol Rovers, the Swans are left with only three senior strikers in Pintado, Scotland and Bauza.

Scotland is still not fully fit after his recent operation, and is short of match practise. However, he will be available for the Swans Spanish tour which stars against Espanyol this Friday, 25 July.

In an interview with the Evening Post, Martinez said:

With the prices in the current market you do look at loan options. "It is important that we look at certain young players who are good enough to play in the Championship. To do that you have to go to the Premier League clubs.

"Febian knows how we work. He is someone who has developed here and he has Premier League potential.

"We have got good competition up front with Guillem Bauza and Gorka Pintado, who are very strong, while Jason Scotland will be pushing them soon when he is fully fit. But we do need a fourth striker."


Will that fourth striker be Febian Brandy?
