Tonight's Swansea City transfer news as goalkeeper's future uncertain and fresh Luka Modric suitor emerges
Tonight's Swansea City transfer news as goalkeeper's future uncertain and fresh Luka Modric suitor emerges The latest news from the Stadium Andy Fisher is facing an uncertain future (Image: PA ) Here's your round-up of all the latest Swansea City news for Tuesday, June 3. Fisher unsure of future St Johnstone boss Simo Valakari says Andy Fisher 'doesn't know what the future is' ahead of his return to Swansea City this summer. The 27-year-old joined Saints back in January on a short-term loan deal, and made 18 appearances for the club as they slid out of the Scottish top flight. Valakari hasn't ruled out the possibility of trying bring Fisher back to McDiarmid Park next term, but is expecting other clubs higher up the food chain to show an interest. Sign up to the Swansea City WhatsApp service to get breaking news and top stories sent to your phone 'Andy has gone back to see what is happening and he said for the first time in a long time he doesn't know what the future is,' said Valakari. 'I think if we were still in the Premiership then maybe we would have a chance of bringing him back but probably not for the Championship. Article continues below 'Andy will have other clubs after him, I think, because he did well for us.' Fisher currently has one year left on his current deal at Swansea, and his future remains slightly uncertain, particularly given that Lawrence Vigouroux is likely to remain first choice under Alan Sheehan next term. Milan keen on Modric Italian giants AC Milan are reportedly keen on signing Luka Modric this summer. The 39-year-old has already confirmed he's set to leave Real Madrid after the upcoming Club World Cup, bringing the curtain down on a trophy-laden 13-year spell at the club. Speculation over his next move has been rumbling away ever since, with reports elsewhere suggesting a possible move to MLS to join Lionel Messi and David Beckham at Inter Miami. Saudi Arabia has also been touted as a possibility, but according to The Athletic, a move to Serie A could yet be on the cards. It's claimed Milan are 'exploring a deal' for the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner, who is seemingly yet to decide on this next move as a player. An appearance for Croatia at next year's World Cup has already been cited as a target the veteran midfielder may now be working towards, while his recent investment in Swansea City has suggested he is keen on staying in the game once he does eventually hang up his boots. The possibility of pulling on a Swans shirt before he decides to retire appears slim, although it's understood he has already had an impact behind the scenes at the club. For example, sources claim he has already spoken to potential new recruits in a bid to help convince them to join Alan Sheehan's squad. Russell Martin poised to take Rangers job Former Swansea City boss Russell Martin is reportedly closing in on the job at Rangers. According to Sky Sports, Rangers' new sporting director Kevin Thelwell, CEO Patrick Stewart and the club's new US owners are set to opt for the ex-Southampton boss, who enjoyed a brief loan spell at the club as a player back in 2018. The Scottish giants have spent the last few months searching for a successor Philippe Clement, who was sacked in February, with former captain Barry Ferguson previously taking interim charge. Former boss Steven Gerrard and ex-Real Madrid assistant Davide Ancelotti were both among the other names believed to be in the frame. However, it seems Martin is now set to make the move to Ibrox, having been out of work since leaving St Mary's in December. Swans confirm third friendly Swansea City have confirmed they will take on League Two side Cheltenham Town in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday, July 23. It's the third friendly to have been confirmed by the club this summer, with the Swans also set to meet League One Stevenage out in Spain on July 19, before travelling to Exeter City on July 26.

Japanese Knotweed in 'super growth' across UK expert warns
Rain has returned to the UK recently after a prolonged dry spell, resulting in a combination of warm soil and wet weather. These conditions can result in "growth spurts" for the invasive plant which can cause a plethora of problems for homeowners, Sold property expert Terry Fisher warned. Mr Fisher said: 'We've been basking in the glorious sunshine, but now the rain has made an epic return. 'This combination of wet and warm creates the ideal conditions for Japanese knotweed to thrive and even go into a super growth. "Meaning homeowners might unearth a beast in their gardens this spring. 'The invasive plant is a nightmare - it's relentlessly durable, fast-growing and can cause damage to nearby structures.' Japanese Knotweed is described as "a persistent, clump-forming herbaceous perennial" by The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). Property expert at Saga's home insurance, Anna Thunstrom, added: "Keep an eye out for its characteristic shield or shovel-shaped leaves, along with clusters of creamy white flowers." Japanese knotweed, which was introduced to the UK as an ornamental plant in the nineteenth century, can only be removed with costly specialist treatment. Mr Fisher said: 'Avoid attempting a DIY removal as you could accidentally spread it further. "It requires a multi-pronged approach, often involving herbicides and potentially excavation, depending on the extent of the infestation. "This is all best left to the professionals." Removing Japanese Knotweed from your property can be "costly", the Sold property expert added, especially if you have to pay for repairs for your home, or your neighbours. Removing Japanese knotweed can be a "costly" process. (Image: Getty Images/iStockphoto) Mr Fisher continued: "Your neighbours can seek compensation if it breaches onto their land, and you can be fined if it starts to grow in the wild.' The plant can also spread onto your property from neighbouring land as it tends to grow at an "alarming rate". Mr Fisher said: 'Japanese knotweed can reach two metres in height within weeks, and if it has encroached from neighbouring land, you have the right to pursue legal action against the landowner for compensation, covering both damages and removal costs. 'Whatever the case, homeowners need to act quickly if any signs of Japanese knotweed appear.' When selling a home, vendors are legally required to disclose if a property is, or ever has been, affected by Japanese knotweed. Surveyors also have a legal obligation to look for it as part of their report. RECOMMENDED READING: Mr Fisher added: 'If you're buying a house and a survey flags that a property has Japanese knotweed, you could negotiate the price or ensure the seller treats the plant before the sale goes through,' Terry added. 'After that, it's your job to keep an eye on your garden for any signs of the plant returning. It tends to die back in Autumn but starts to grow again in spring. 'Some homeowners don't know about the existence of the invasive plant until they find it in their garden. In which case, it could be that a surveyor was negligent in their duties, or you could have a case for misrepresentation.'
