Swansea Back in for Priskin - Ipswich Town News

Swansea City have made a loan offer for Town striker Tamás Priskin. On Thursday Blues boss Roy Keane revealed that the club were considering a loan bid for one of their senior players.

The Swans were understood to have made enquiries regarding Priskin in the summer with manager Brendan Rodgers having been the boss to get the most out of the Hungarian at Watford.

Back then, Rodgers said he wasn’t surprised that his new club were being linked with the Slovakia-born frontman: "He is a player that I worked with at Watford and he scored a lot of goals for me. He is a talent.

"He is one of a number of players that will be linked with Swansea because of their association with me. He is a good player, but he is an Ipswich player.”

Keane has said that the Blues could look at allowing one or two of his squad move on loan in order to free up wages so new players can be brought in.

Priskin, who has 18 months on his Town contract with the club also having the option of another year, has recently been out of Keane’s squad after a less than enthusiastic performance from the bench at Preston.

Prior to that, the 24-year-old had finally begun to show why Town paid the Hornets £1.7 million for him in August 2009, netting five goals. However, a month-long barren run led to him being dropped.

Priskin failed to make much of an impact during his first season with the Blues, moving to QPR on loan in January having scored only twice in the first half of the 2009/10 campaign.
