Michael Laudrup planning showdown talks with Joe Allen
MICHAEL LAUDRUP is planning showdown talks with Liverpool target Joe Allen tomorrow to discuss whether the Welshman wants to stay with Swansea.
Allen, 22, was part of the Great Britain team which lost in the Olympic quarter-finals after a penalty shoot-out.
He returned to Swansea’s training ground yesterday but Laudrup is keen to discuss his future. Liverpool have already had a bid rejected for him.
Laudrup said: “I had a small chat with him, but we did not touch the subject. On Wednesday he will be back in training with the other two guys who have been at the Olympics and then we will have some talks.”
