Swansea may be bracing themselves for a shock bid from Liverpool for Nathan Dyer, after clinching the signing of Wayne Routledge.
It's been suggested that the Swans have moved to secure the signature of another winger as they fear losing Dyer due to a dispute over a new contract.
Routledge, who has just the Premier League new boys from Newcastle for an undisclosed fee, certainly shares many qualities with his fellow wide man, but manager Brendan Rodgers would ideally like to have both players in the same team.
However, the Swans can't afford to risk letting the 23-year-old walk away for nothing as Dorus de Vries and Darren Pratley did this summer, as he is now in the final 12 months of his existing deal.
Rodgers was initially optimistic that Dyer would put pen to paper on a new deal, but the reported interest from Liverpool is a concern, particularly with the Reds' new policy of signing top young British talent.
