Swans to strengthen ahead of Forest clash

Last updated : 02 March 2010 By Forest

Paulo Sousa brings his in-form Swansea side to Nottingham on Saturday for a vital clash at the top of the Championship and is keen to bring in reinforcements after losing midfielders Ferrie Bodde and Darren Pratley during the weekend game against Peterborough.

27-year-old Danns has been in fine form for Crystal Palace this season but their financial woes, together with the departure of manager Neil Warnock for QPR has made the Eagles easy prey for clubs looking to sign their top players.

An emergency loan deal is set to be done in time for the City Ground trip, with a permanent move to follow in the summer. Lee Frecklington of Peterborough and Sheffield United's Stephen Quinn are also being linked with the Swans.

The fixture is the reverse of Forest's 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium in December, David McGoldrick netting the only goal of the game.
