Garry Monk denies Jordan Rhodes interest

Swansea City manager Garry Monk has dismissed speculation that has linked his club with a move for Blackburn Rovers striker Jordan Rhodes.

It had been suggested that the Scotland international was a target of Monk, who is believed to be eager to secure the services of a replacement for the departed Wilfried Bony.

However, Monk has insisted that he has no plans to add another forward to his squad at the Liberty Stadium this month.

"I've already said I don't want another striker. I don't know where [the Rhodes speculation] has come from - it's ridiculous. He's not been on our radar at all," the Swans boss told reporters.

Rhodes was a part of the Blackburn side that knocked Swansea out of the FA Cup on Saturday.
