Dimi Extends Liberty Loan

The Swans have extended the loan period of Dimi Konstantopoulos until 28th December

He won't be able to play in the fixture between the two sides next Tuesday but clearly Roberto has been impressed by some convincing performances from Dimi and has moved to extend the loan that was due to end after tonight's game against Birmingham.

He will also be forced to sit out the return fixture between the two clubs on Boxing Day but the move now means that the Swans have two keepers on the books who can provide stern competition for each other in the busy month of December

Dimi is expected to remain between the sticks tonight but De Vries looks certain to return on Tuesday night at the Ricoh
