Here's your round-up of all the latest Swansea City news for Thursday, December 19.

Williams unware of Adams interest

Swansea City boss Luke Williams says he's unaware of any interest in Falkirk right-back Keelan Adams - but has stopped short of ruling out a move for the 23-year-old.

Adams has one year left to run on his current deal at the Scottish Championship leaders, and reports elsewhere have credited Swansea with a potential interest, along with Championship rivals Leeds United and Scottish giants Rangers.

Williams hasn't ruled out any potential interest in the full-back, and admits it's possible the club's recruitment team might well have taken a closer look.

However, the Swans boss insists he's not been made aware of any potential interest at this stage.

"I don't actually know anything about that one," he said when quizzed on the links. "I'm not saying that it's not a player on our list. But I'm not always involved in every single one, as you can imagine because it's a full-time job and I've actually got one of those already!

"So I have to be careful with how much I'm involved in the entire process. So I don't know anything about that player at this moment in time."

Parker and Ginnelly pushing for return

Sam Parker and Josh Ginnelly have both returned to training for Swansea City as they continue their respective recoveries from long-term injuries.

Ginnelly has been out for over a year after rupturing his Achilles last September, while academy product Parker is similarly yet to feature this season due to a hamstring injury.

Neither will feature for the trip to Hull City on Saturday, but Luke Williams is hopeful of being able to call upon the duo within the next few weeks.

“The squad is looking pretty good, we don’t have anything new to report,” he said ahead of the trip to the MKM Stadium.

“We have had Sam Parker training with us for most of the session today, and the same for Josh Ginnelly for most of the session. They will need weeks of training and we have to be careful, but it’s good progress."

Goalkeeper Andy Fisher is similarly closing in on a return having gone under the knife due to a groin injury, but Joe Allen is still out.

Meanwhile Kristian Pedersen is facing a prolonged spell on the sidelines, with the Swans boss revealing the full has recently had on operation on his hamstring.

“That is positive stuff, Joe Allen is continuing to recover from his injury, Andy Fisher is pretty much there now training with the squad.

“Kristian Pedersen had surgery on a hamstring injury a while back and is rehabilitating, and he won’t be available for the foreseeable.”

Williams backs Martin to bounce back

Luke Williams has backed former Swansea City boss Russell Martin to bounce back and manage in the Premier League again following his sacking by Southampton.

Having led the club to promotion last season, Martin was dismissed on Sunday night after the Saints were trounced at home to Tottenham Hotspur, a result that leaves them bottom of the Premier League, nine points from safety, and with just one win all season.

But having worked under him at both Swansea and MK Dons, Williams believes his old boss deserves some credit.

"He did an incredible job, one because they were promoted and two the style they did it in," said the Swansea head coach.

"But [the Premier League] is something out of this world and you have to be so well-equipped to be able to cope.

"I know in this city no-one doubts the credentials of Russell, his ability to manage and get a team to perform. Nobody in this city will ever doubt that. I hope nobody in that city (Southampton) will ever doubt that, the people who watched the quality of that team week in, week out."

Williams believes Martin will bounce back, and says he expects to see his former colleague back in the Premier League soon.

"I am sure he is going to be a Premier League manager again in the future," he added.

"Russ has been in the game his whole adult life. He is resilient and I am sure he is going to make a fantastic manager again in the near future, if he wants to."
