The January transfer window is just around the corner, and planning is seemingly already well underway as Swansea City look to strengthen their squad ahead of the second half of the season.

It recently emerged that midfielder Luke Cundle is a player on Swansea's list of possibilities ahead of the new year, while full-back Keelan Adams is another to have been recently linked.

A wide option, an attacking midfielder, a centre-back and a forward are all likely to be among the areas to be looked at over the coming weeks, but there might well be a few decisions made on the players already in the building.

Luke Williams has already confirmed that some players may well be heading out the door this winter, while there are some players the club will only think about moving on should an irresistible offer come in.

Here's a rundown on where each member of the squad currently stands.

Andy Fisher

Will likely be seen as valuable back-up for Lawrence Vigouroux ahead of the second half of the season. Keep.

Lawrence Vigouroux

Has seldom let the team down. Swansea's number one right now. Keep.

Nathan Broome

Looks to be way down the pecking order right now. Has a year left to run on his current deal, with the option of a further 12 months, but a sale might well be seen as beneficial for all parties. Sell.

Jon McLaughlin

Contract expires at the end off the month. Unless Fisher suffers another setback, it seems unlikely he'll be offered another deal. Release.

Josh Key

A really important part of Luke Williams' plans. Seems to be little appetite to sell him unless a substantial offer comes in. Keep.

Kristian Pedersen

Club would probably listen to offers, but given he looks set for a prolonged spell on the treatment table since going under the knife, a move in January is perhaps unlikely. Still, sell if possible.

Ben Cabango

A lot will hinge on contract talks. If there's no discernible progress this time next month then it will surely mean there's a choice to make. Losing him would clearly be a blow. Losing him for nothing in the summer, however, would arguably be far more serious. Keeping him is the ideal, but if they can't tie him down to a new deal, a sale might be the best course of action.

Harry Darling

As above.

Josh Tymon

An important first team player, and one of the more experienced heads in this squad. Keep.

Nathan Tjoe-A-On

Might be popular in his native Indonesia, but his Swansea career hasn't really taken off. Sell.

Cyrus Christie

Seen as a valuable squad member following his free transfer. Keep.

Kyle Naughton

Hugely valued by Williams due to his experience. Has seldom let Swansea down. Keep.

Nelson Abbey

Hasn't really made an impression since arriving on loan. Endured a difficult debut in the League Cup and hasn't had a look in since. A recall in January wouldn't be too much of a surprise.

Sam Parker

A young player that's clearly very highly rated by insiders, although he may well have something of a point to prove following his recent injury troubles. Keep.

Filip Lissah

Another highly-rated youngster. Hasn't quite made the step up to the first team just yet. A loan spell away might be good.

Jay Fulton

Some may feel he's a player that can be upgraded on, but he's clearly still seen as important player by his boss. Unless there's a decent offer it's probably worth keeping him around.

Joe Allen

His experience is still seen as a valuable asset. Keep.

Matt Grimes

Has had a couple of a poor performances this season, but is still far and away Swansea's most important player. When Swansea play well, it tends to be because of him. Keep.

Goncalo Franco

Has become a firm fan favourite after settling in to life in the Championship. Still hasn't maybe found the consistency needed, but his talent is there for all to see. Unless an offer too good to refuse comes in, he's a player they have to keep.

Myles Peart-Harris

Consistency isn't always there, but his loan spell has certainly had some high points. Were he to be recalled it would be something of a blow.

Ollie Cooper

A long-term injury means there's little chance of an exit, anyway. But even so, there would be little appetite in cashing in on the Wales international. Keep.

Ben Lloyd

Another youngster that hasn't quite made the step up. A loan might be beneficial.

Aimar Govea

Hasn't quite built on the first team breakthrough of last term. Another one who might benefit from going out on loan.

Daniel Watts

Another who could well benefit from a temporary stint away.

Azeem Abdulai

Has largely been deployed out of position this season, but has nevertheless struggled to make an impact. Should a suitable offer happen to come in, it might well be listened to, but there is still a decent case for keeping him.

Zan Vipotnik

Still has a little way to go in getting up to speed in the Championship, but his boss still has plenty of faith in his abilities. Keep.

Eom Jisung

Similar in many ways. Keep

Josh Ginnelly

Has another year left on his deal, so there is perhaps a case for moving him on soon, but the next few months are more likely to be seen as a chance to show what he can do. Keep.

Florian Bianchini

Hasn't quite got fully up to speed, but has shown some encouraging moments. Keep.

Liam Cullen

His stock has shot up probably more than any other Swans player this season. A red hot run of form that may well attract some admiring glances. There's a chance he might be seen as valuable asset that can be cashed in on, but his importance to this team right now probably outweighs that point. Keep.

Ronald

Inconsistent this season, but still a valuable attacking outlet. Keep.
