Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins has insisted that he is “completely unaware” of a dispute with Ipswich after the Championship side reported the Swans to the Premier League over payment issues.

Jenkins claims he will meet with Ipswich chief executive Simon Clegg next week to discuss why a transfer embargo request has been put to the Premier League against his side, after the loan deal of Tamas Priskin to the Tractor Boys.

Jenkins told his club’s official website: “In response to Ipswich Town’s statement, as a club we are completely unaware of any dispute with Ipswich.

“Myself and Simon Clegg talked a few weeks ago regarding the situation of Tamas Priskin returning early from his loan spell, but there has been no correspondence since.

“While we are surprised and disappointed with Simon’s statement, we will address the situation and speak to him and Ipswich early next week.”

Clegg claims the Swans have failed to pay Priskin’s wages while he was on loan last season and other add-ons as a result of their promotion.

Clegg said earlier on Friday: “Tamas arrived in Swansea fit and became injured while under their care – that’s football but contracts have to be honoured and I have absolutely no interest in renegotiating this agreement.

“As a result of Swansea refusing to pay our invoices I have reported them to the Premier League, sought an immediate transfer embargo.”

The Premier League have yet to comment.
