Michael Laudrup dismisses David Villa link

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup laughs off reports linking his side with an audacious bid for Barcelona forward David Villa.

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has laughed off reports linking his side with an audacious bid for Barcelona forward David Villa.

The Swans, along with Arsenal and Chelsea, have been credited with an interest in Villa ahead of the January transfer window.

However, Laudrup expects the 31-year-old to remain with the La Liga champions elect.

"There have been a lot of rumours, but the only Villa coming to Swansea is Aston Villa," joked Laudrup. "He is a fantastic player, but unfortunately I don't think he will be coming to Swansea.

"In fact, although I haven't spoken to [Andoni] Zubizarreta or [Tito] Vilanova, I think he will stay at Barcelona."

Villa has scored 46 goals in 61 La Liga appearances for Barcelona.
