Priskin\'s Swansea Move Confirmed - Ipswich Town News

Swansea have confirmed that Town striker Tamás Priskin has joined them on loan until the end of the season. The Hungarian’s former Watford boss Brendan Rodgers has been targeting the 24-year-old since he took over at the Liberty Stadium in the summer.

Rodgers said: "I looked to bring him in at the start of the season, but it's only now that he's become available.

"I worked with Tamás at Watford where he was outstanding for me and at 6ft 2in he can offer us another threat and balance for the remaining games.

"He is a player who can add goals to our squad and ensure we have enough cover for the final eight games of the season.''

The move could well be made permanent in the summer with the Hungarian having a year remaining on his Town deal.

Priskin's exit means that Town go into the final games of the season short on strikers with Connor Wickham and Jason Scotland the only recognised frontmen currently at the club. However, the Blues have a 24-hour recall on Ronan Murray once he completes the first month of his loan at Torquay early in April.

The Hungarian, who is currently away on international duty, will not be available for next month's game between the Blues and the Swans.

There will be no further moves in or out of Portman Road today with the 5pm deadline having passed.
