Vitor Matos stopped short on confirming any firm interest from Swansea in signing Jesurun Rak-Sakyi before the end of the month, but said the player "has a lot of things we like".
Swansea City Head Coach Vitor Matos has described Jesurun Rak-Sakyi as "really interesting" after the Swans were linked with a January move for the Crystal Palace winger.
On Friday the Swans confirmed the arrival of former Palace defender Joel Ward on a short-term deal until the end of the season, their first signing of the January window.
Matos stopped short on confirming if there was any firm interest from the club in signing the 23-year-old before the end of the month, but said the player "has a lot of things we like".
He said, "Rak-Sakyi is a good player of course.
"He's someone that had the impact last season with Sheffield United, with Charlton before as well, so of course he's someone really interesting.
"But yeah, he's one of the names that we keep seeing and monitoring, let's see what will be the next."
Rak-Sakyi was on loan at Sheffield United last season and is currently playing in Turkey at Çaykur Rizespor, where he's been on loan since the start of the season.
"We are looking to a lot of players at the moment if we believe that's the right profile to have in the squad," Matos added.
"Rak-Sakyi has a lot of things we like, that's good, but of course it's a rumour at the moment so it's nothing that I can confirm."
Matos has also played down the prospect of any first-team players leaving the club this month.
With summer signing Adam Idah ruled out for the next three months with an injury, the Portuguese does want to bring in more reinforcements.
"Same I said before, January market is a tricky one, a special one," Matos said.
"We need to see what's available, what we can do as well as a club, what fits and improves the squad in terms of possibilities.
"Every day is a new day in terms of solutions, whenever we feel that we have what we want, we will announce it."
