Zan Vipotnik: Hull City’s £10m bid for Swansea City striker ‘pathetic’ – Andy Robinson

Published

on

Vipotnik started his side’s 2-1 win at Stoke City on Saturday and claimed an assist for Joseph Opoku’s 22nd-minute equaliser at bet365 Stadium.

He was replaced in the 65th minute by match-winner Adam Idah, who netted with his first touch after coming off the bench to clinch all three points for Vitor Matos’ men.

Regardless of whether or not Vipotnik remains at the club beyond the summer transfer deadline, Robinson believes Swansea are in a strong position.

“For Swansea City, we’re hearing from behind the scenes that it’s alright, it’s quite rosy in terms of the financial situation,” he added.

“We’ve got [Melker] Widell who can play in behind as a false nine, [Moussa] Yeo’s come in, there are still options there.

“[Ross] Stewart who has come in as well, if we can get him punching this season, we’ve got a player on our hands, we know what he can do at this level of football.

“They’ve done business well behind the scenes.

“If he (Vipotnik) did decide to go or the board decide to sell him, but for £10m, it’s pathetic. At that, he’s got to stay at the football club and he’s going to keep scoring goals hopefully.”
