Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive brings you an update on Swansea City striker Joel Piroe
Swansea City are yet to receive any formal bid for Leicester City-linked Joel Piroe, reveals boss Michael Duff.
Piroe is expected to depart this summer. City are one of the teams to hold a strong interest in the 23-year-old, along with Leeds United, Southampton and Atalanta.
Both City and the Serie A outfit have tried to move ahead of competition, however, with initial talks understood to have taken place.
However, the Swans boss Duff says the club are yet to receive a bid for Piroe and has been pleased to see his response to the transfer interest.
“He’s been absolutely top drawer,” Duff told WalesOnline. “It’s [speculation] been everywhere but we haven’t had a bid.
“He’s not come and knocked on the door saying he wants to leave. He’s not asked me what’s going on. He’s still asking me for information. It’s the first thing he says in the dressing room, ‘where do you want me?’
“He’s been a credit to himself in the way he’s handled it. I’ve worked with players and played with players who when there’s any sniff of information they start looking down the road thinking ‘I wanna do this, I wanna do that’.
“He’s not done that once. So credit to him. Until it gets taken out of my hands, if it gets taken out of my hands, then we’ll keep working with him.”
