Michael Laudrup: 'Danny Graham still has Swansea City future'

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has insisted that striker Danny Graham still has a future at the club, despite rumours linking him with a move away.

Graham has had a lack of action this season, with Michu being frequently utilised as the lone striker, but Laudrup said that he hopes Graham will want to fight for his place.

"There will be rumours," the Daily Mail quotes Laudrup as saying. "In some rumours there is something, in others nothing. We just have to take it from there.

"We will take it from there and after January 1 I want to speak to the players, especially the ones who aren't playing, to find out what their intentions are and what they want for the next half-season and for the future.

"I think that's fair, especially to the players who are not playing. [Graham] is still part of our plans here but I want to hear from him."

Swansea face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon.
