Swansea in talks with Tottenham to sign Tom Carroll and Norwich for Martin Olsson
By Lyall Thomas
Swansea are in talks with Tottenham to sign Tom Carroll, and with Norwich to bring in Martin Olsson.Sky sources reported on Wednesday that Spurs were prepared to sell the 24-year-old midfielder, who has only made three appearances this season.
New Swans boss Paul Clement confirmed that discussions are taking place in his pre-match news conference ahead of the Premier League clash at home to Arsenal on Saturday.
"The two clubs are talking about that possibility. The stage it's at is we are looking to agree the terms," he said.
"There's an interest there [in Carroll]. It's similar situation to Olsson - the clubs are in talks."Carroll, who previously enjoyed a successful spell on loan at the Swans, is the only Tottenham player expected to leave this month.
Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino says he will "see what happens" with Carroll after admitting "It’s true that Tom is not playing and not too much involved with the team" on Thursday.
Sweden left-back Olsson has been a mainstay of Norwich's back four this term, however, making 20 appearances.
Swansea confirmed their first signing of the January window on Thursday in Netherlands winger Luciano Narsingh.
