The 31-year-old is not the only player Swansea are targeting in fact the Premier League outfit have ‘half a dozen’ strikers they are keeping tabs on.

Jenkins did state that he expects to make a signing before the end of the transfer window.

“I think he’s one of the players who has been mentioned,” Swans coach Alan Curtis told BBC Wales Sport.

“He’s on a list where you could name at least half a dozen strikers. With two weeks to go until the start of the season, it’s probably time we brought a big signing in.”
