Southampton Target Linked With Swans
The Swans have this evening been linked with a move for midfielder Idrissa Gueye who is also a target it has been reported for West Ham, Southampton and Newcastle.
Reports coming out of Italy have suggested that both Newcastle and Swansea are interested in the midfielder who currently plays for Lille in France.
TMW are reporting that both sides are chasing after the Senegal international and ready to move when the transfer window opens. Marseille are also reported to be interested in Gueye who they see as a replacement for Giannelli Imbula who is a target for Porto.
Only two weeks ago it was reported that Southampton had had a bid of £7m accepted for the player as they planned to replace Morgan Schneiderlin who looks set for Manchester United. The reports - in France football - suggested that a deal had been struck but as yet that has gone any further.
Crystal Palace have also been linked for the player who is clearly in demand who was one of the stand-out performers for the French side as they finished in a respectable eighth place.

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
