Crawley Town Reject Swansea City Bid for Striker Max Watters
Striker Receiving Plenty of Interest From Championship Clubs
Crawley Town have rejected a bid from Swansea City for their striker Max Watters, according to reports.
The forward, who joined the Sussex side from Doncaster Rovers this summer, has had an excellent season with Crawley Town.
Watters, 21, joined Doncaster Rovers in 2018 after impressing with non-league Ashford.
But his playing time at the Keepmoat Stadium was limited, spending most of his time on-loan with a number of non-league clubs.
According to TEAMtalk, Watters is subject to interest from several clubs – including representatives from the Premier League, Championship and League One.
The reports claims Swansea are “the first to make their move” with a bid worth £500,000.
But Crawley are allegedly holding out for an offer in excess of £1 million for their 13-goal striker.
One for the Future
Any deal for Max Watters would likely be an eye towards the future from Swansea City.
The Swans have a good reputation for providing game time to talented youngsters – Jamal Lowe and Daniel James to name a few – but a step-up to the Championship may prove too early for Watters.
Should the Welsh side secure a deal for Watters, a more likely pathway would be that the 21-year-old signs for a League One or League Two side on-loan in order to gain more playing time.
Swans Eye-up Danish Striker as Alternative
According to TEAMtalk, Swansea City are also interested in Danish striker Kasper Junker.
The 26-year-old scored 26 goals in 25 games as Bodo-Glimt won the Norwegian title.
Junker, who joined Bodo in January this year from AC Horsens, has attracted interest from Swansea City, Celtic and Derby County.
TEAMtalk mention additional interest from West Brom, Crystal Palace, Middlesbrough and Bristol City.
