    Swansea City manager, Michael Laudrup has signed seven Spanish players since arriving in Wales a year ago, but when offered the chance to loan one of Spanish football’s gems in Barcelona B winger, Gerard Deulofeu, he ruled out a loan move for the U20 World Cup star.

    Interesting, he has become tipped to be the next big Spanish name!

    A winger who knows where the goal is?

    Maybe he's just not good enough yet for the prem. He is after all still a B squad player, if I understand it correctly.

    No speculation about it

    In an interview with Barcelona-based Catalan sports daily, Mundo Deportivo, Laudrup rejected the thought of signing Deulofeu on loan, but gave him praise for being a gifted player.

    “He is a very talented player but he’s not coming on loan to Swansea.”

    He was asked a question, as there has probably been speculation about it, so he discounted it. We are probably linked to every Spanish player under £10m or so I imagine.

    This guy is higher rated than Ince, Zaha & Redmond and has proven it! On 15 May 2013, Deulofeu signed a new contract with Barcelona, keeping him with the Blaugrana until June 2017. He also has been offered a 1st team contract from the Catalan giants
