Lincoln City backed to strike seven-figure transfer deal after “insulting” Swansea City bid

Gary Hutchinson, a Lincoln City fan commentator on FLW, acknowledged that the money from Erhahon’s sale to Swansea would be a nice addition to the Imps’ summer transfer fund when questioned if the reported fee of over £1 million for the player would be a good deal for the team.

“It seems Swansea are finally coming up with the money after their derisory £600,000 offer,” Gary stated to FLW.

“I did question whether or not we would speak with them once more.

“That amount has never been disputed; it must be more than £1 million.

“Swansea’s attempt to make an offer that would likely be roughly half of the amount we’re willing to take was actually pretty arrogant because the club has always had a figure in mind since purchasing Ethan Erhahon that his agent and buying clubs would have known about.

As the player, I would consider it offensive if Swansea made an offer of £600,000 and he was worth, say, £1.2 million. I would advise them to move on.

Selling Erhahon for more than £1 million would be beneficial for our transfer strategy and free up funds for our own team.

“We’ll probably already have a number of targets in mind, so we’ll use that money to acquire two or three players and, ideally, repeat the process.

“The long-term model is to be a little bit like Peterborough in terms of churning out players that go on to play at a higher level, it’s all part of the plan.”
