Matos coy on Rak-Sakyi after Palace recall winger from loan in Turkeypublished at 18:38 GMT 11 January
Image source, Getty ImagesHead coach Vitor Matos refused to be drawn on Swansea City's interest in Jesurun Rak-Sakyi after the Crystal Palace winger was recalled from his loan at Turkish club Çaykur Rizespor.
Matos has described the 23-year-old as a "really interesting" player who "has a lot of things we like".
Since then, Palace have cut short Rak-Sakyi's loan in Turkey to fuel speculation that another move could be imminent.
But Matos played that down by saying: "No, nothing to add about that."
Asked if Rak-Sakyi was still a player of interest for Swansea, Matos added: "I think not only for us, I think he's a player of interest of a lot of teams.
"That's why he played last season at Sheffield United. So he's a player who has a lot of things, like I said, that we like, but that doesn't mean anything for the future."
Matos was speaking after Swansea lost their third-round FA Cup tie at home to West Bromwich Albion after a penalty shootout on Sunday.
The match featured a Swans debut for former Palace defender Joel Ward, who signed on a short-term deal until the end of the season on Friday to become the Welsh club's first signing of the January window.
"I'm really happy for him," said Matos.
"Joel gave us experience, leadership, and I think that's quite important as well as a group to have someone like him. So that's why I'm really pleased with the signing."
Meanwhile, Ishe Samuels-Smith, the Swansea defender on loan from Chelsea is facing three weeks out with a groin injury.
