Brendan Rodgers has asked fans to be patient as he builds his squad for the Premier League

The Swansea City manager has effectively made two new signings this week as Angel Rangel signed a new deal at the Liberty Stadium and today's announcement that Steven Caulker has joined on a season long loan from Tottenham Hotspur.

Add to that the club record signing of Danny Graham and it is three new faces at the Liberty this summer to date although both Darren Pratley and Dorus De Vries have left and Neil Taylor seems to want away.

But Rodgers insists that he has been on the phone constantly despite being on his own summer break as he explained to the Evening Post "I am out of the country on holiday at the moment, but I am on the phone constantly

"I think we have seen already that we are going to a new level in the Premier League in terms of gossip and rumour.

"Agents are working hard to try to move players and unfortunately that's what you read about in a lot of the media nowadays.

"We have been linked with all sorts of keepers, for instance, who are just not in my thinking.

"There is a whole media circus which comes with being in the Premier League, and it's been incredible reading about some of the players we are supposed to have made bids for.

"I just hope our fans can be patient.

"I have spoken to players and we have bids in for players and there will be movement between now and the end of August.

"I have had discussions with managers and with players that I like," Rodgers added.

"We are waiting to see how things develop now.

"I think Swansea is a good club to come to. Players who have come here previously have improved and developed and I think that makes us attractive if you are a player or an agent looking in from the outside.

"There are lots and lots of players who are interested in joining us and over the course of the summer there will be signings.

"I am excited about the players we are looking to bring to the club and, when we get them, our magnificent supporters will be the first to know about it."
