LONDON -Michael Laudrup claims Swansea striker Michu is “the bargain of the season” and does not expect the Spaniard to be sold in January’s transfer window.Laudrup believes only a small number of clubs could afford the 26-year-old, who has scored 16 goals in 2012-13.“It was the bargain of the season. We know that. There aren’t many clubs who can buy him,” said the Swansea manager.“I’m not afraid something is going to happen because I am sure he will be here for the next five or six months.”Michu, a £2m summer signing from Spanish side Rayo Vallecano, is under contract with Swansea until 2015, but has been linked with a big-money move away from the Liberty Stadium.Only Manchester United’s Robin van Persie and Liverpool’s Luis Suarez have scored more than Michu’s 13 Premier League goals this season, prompting Laudrup to suggest his player is worth £30m.
