Sources: Swansea City line up £4m MK Dons double deal
Swansea City are plotting to sign MK Dons duo Andrew Fisher and Harry Darling in a £4million double deal, Football Insider can exclusively reveal.
The Championship club want to land goalkeeper Fisher, 23, and defender Darling, 22, in the January window.
A Swansea source has now told Football Insider that the club are lining up a move simultaneously for the MK Dons pair ahead of next month.
Swans boss Russell Martin left the Dons to join the Welsh outfit in August following the exit of Steve Cooper.
The 35-year-old manager is now looking to players he knows and trusts in a bid to seal a top-six finish this term.
Swansea currently sit six points off sixth-placed Coventry City after 20 games.
However, the Welsh side have conceded the seventh-most goals in the second tier this season.
As such, Martin is desperate to bolster his rearguard in order to boost Swansea’s chances of promotion to the Premier League.
Goalkeeper Fisher has kept 16 clean sheets in 57 games since joining MK Dons from Blackburn Rovers last year.
Meanwhile, centre-back Darling has been an almost ever-present for the League One side since his move from Cambridge United earlier this year.
Together, the pair have contributed excellently to an impressive start for MK Dons, which sees them sitting sixth in the third tier and in contention for a play-off place come the end of the season.
Swansea City face Middlesbrough today (4 December), while MK Dons are next in action at home against table-topping Plymouth Argyle on Wednesday (8 December).
The winter transfer window opens for business on 1 January.
