Swansea City are interested in signing Sevilla striker Fernando Llorente, Sky sources understand.

The Spain international centre-forward has been identified as a potential replacement for Bafetimbi Gomis, who has left the Liberty Stadium to join Marseille on loan.

The 31-year-old has won the World Cup, the Euros and three Serie A titles in a career that's seen him play for Athletic Bilbao, Juventus and Sevilla.

The Swans squad could be reduced further should the club decide to follow up an enquiry from West Ham for forward Andre Ayew, who is valued in the £20m bracket.
