And with manager Brian Laws assessing what to do with an improved budget, Wednesday may have already identified him as the man to bolster their midfield.

Swansea seem not that interested in keeping 6ft 2in Tudur Jones who spent the latter part of last season on loan at Swindon, where he scored one goal in 11 games.

Now his agent, Dean Sheehan, says that there are several Championship clubs interested in the 25-year-old player if his four-year term at Swansea is to come to an end.

The hard-working player accepts that he is rated behind five other midfield teammates and is thought to be relishing a move to a club that gives him regular first team football.

Sheehan said: &quot;He will have no problem in finding a Championship club.&quot;

While Sheehan did not name the suitors, Wednesday and Barnsley are thought to be among those interested.

Laws, meanwhile, hopes his club can cash in on the credit crunch.

&quot;There are gong to be some good players out there. Everybody is cutting back. The current financial climate is dictating that there will be more players available to us that there has ever been.&quot;

&quot;It is about making sure we try to get the cream of the crop.

&quot;The best ones will come at a premium and we know there will be other clubs after them.

&quot;We are in the market and the finances they have given me to improve the budget has allowed me to start looking in that area.&quot;
