SWANSEA City’s director of football Richard Montague says the club are scouring the market for undervalued options in their ongoing striker search.

The Swans are keen to add more firepower to their ranks this summer, having already moved on the likes of Mykola Kuharev-ich and Jerry Yates, but have so far been unable to find a breakthrough.

There was interest in both Wycombe Wanderers star Richard Kone and former Swan Oli McBurnie in recent weeks, but both players have gone elsewhere.

Swedish striker Jusef Erabi is another player to have been looked at, while reports on the continent have mentioned Schalke’s Moussa Sylla as a possible option.

Montague, (pictured) who faced supporters as a part of a three-man panel at Wednesday's Swansea City Fan Forum, says the club will stick to their principles in the search for a new forward, and gave supporters a quick insight into the processes being applied.

"You obviously have some parameters that you think are the most important aspects of the profile you're trying to build," Montague said.
