Swans may sell the former Manchester City ace, 23, at the right price – probably about £10million – after bringing in new faces on loan to bolster manager Steve Cooper’s squad.

Celina was handed just 13 minutes of Premier League action in his time at Manchester City.

He was brought on by Manuel Pellegrini in a 3-1 defeat against Leicester, assisting a consolation goal for Sergio Aguero.

After departing the Etihad, the midfield creator turned out for FC Twente and Ipswich – before finding a steady home in Wales.

He has since appeared 69 times for the Swans, scoring ten goals and assisting a further 11.

Meanwhile, Swansea are putting off agents and clubs hovering around Andre Ayew by slapping an £18m price tag on the forward.

The Ghanaian, who spent last season at Turkish giants Fenerbahce, has immediately taken well to the Championship.

The 30-year-old has bagged ten goals in 26 league appearances this season, as Coopers’ side push for the play-off spots.

His contract expires in 18 months, but the Swans are still desperate to keep hold of their man.

Swansea currently sit fifth in the Championship table, after beating Wigan 2-1 on Saturday.

They have already been busy this month, securing the loans of highly-rated youngsters Marc Guehi, Rhian Brewster and Conor Gallagher.
