Tony Pulis keeps cards close to chest over possible Swansea City move for Kenwyne Jones
TONY Pulis has refused to rule out the prospect of selling Kenwyne Jones to Swansea City this month.
Stoke boss Pulis has admitted there has been interest in the Potters striker, who is on Swansea's list of potential January targets.
And Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill, who wants Swansea's Danny Graham, has confirmed he is chasing a centre-forward this month.
"There is Kenwyne, there has been interest from other clubs in other players," Pulis said.

"There is loads of stuff going on — it is the silly season. So we will let the silly season run and we will decide what is right for the football club and the players.
"We always take everything into consideration at this football club, and if it right for the players and the football club, we will do business. If not, then we'll get on with things."
O'Neill, meantime, says the Black Cats must bolster their forward line to take the pressure off top scorer Steven Fletcher.
"We need somebody to help share the goals," he said.
"We need to be looking for someone because if anything happens to Fletcher we're in a spot of bother."
Graham has been in fine form for Swansea of late, firing four goals in his last four games, but it seems boss Michael Laudrup may be prepared to let him go if he can land a suitable replacement.
"I hope Danny stays," said Swansea coach Alan Curtis yesterday.
"But it depends, there may be a couple of players coming in and Danny will assess the situation to see where he stands after that."
One player who Swansea will not contemplate selling this month is Michu.
"There are really not many clubs who could afford him," said Laudrup.
"There are some in this country, in Spain there are two — and I think Barcelona and Real Madrid have enough players.
"Italy I don't think so, they are trying to sell, and in Germany there is Bayern Munich.
"I don't know about them, but apart from that I know Michu is happy here and he wants to stay, so I am really not afraid something will happen."

“Would be happy to see Danny stay, only positive thing is he could be back up closer to his family in the North East.
I am not sure moving Sunderland or QPR would be wise for him, at least one of those clubs are getting relegated this year and Sunderland might well go down with them.
Norwich are a good club and I think he would like here be well suited to it, they remind me of swansea in many ways, but I think he should stay and see what more he can do till the end of the season.
Swansea are a club on a constant rise.
We have a real chance of getting to Europe next year with the cup, we are now capable of beating any team in this league. The guys at the club are playing with guys like Michu and various internationals. Our stadium is growing by 30+%.
Honestly, not a day goes by where the disharmony of the "BIG CLUBS" is splashed all over the tabloids, moaning about this and that, boycotting this and that, we all love a good moan in wales, but the fact that we have a very happy fanbase and club shows we are the real deal.
Why trade that for designer name?
WE are in profit.
Have an excellent hierachy at the helm.
Footy Legend ML leading it.
Get to work alongside stars like Michu (Michu is a star now BTW)
Look how many have left Swanse for bigger things and flopped.
Scott Sinclair talking about playing in europe, where they have now been knocked out, and it is swansea have the chance of playing there.
Joe Allen is no longer in the top 5% of passers in the PL, he was top last year, now its Ki is in the top 5, face it guys, we have something special here.
Stick around. Its only going to get bigger, or go for the designer name and deal with all the garbage. Dont matter who goes, we will always have Huw Jenkins and a loyal board.
And that is what has made EVERYTHING else work.”
