Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal has indicated he is likely to be taking the cheaper option in the January transfer window by buying 'sardines and not lobster'.

Carvalhal evoked memories of Eric Cantona's famous 'when the seagulls follow the trawler' address in 1995 as he compared Swansea's forthcoming transfer activity to buying fish.

'We have money for sardines and I'm thinking lobster,' Carvalhal said ahead of Saturday's FA Cup third round trip to Wolves.
