Belgian striker ‘is followed’ by Swansea City – Eyeing permanent deal, Spanish competition

Swansea City are eyeing up a deadline day move for Toulouse forward Aaron Leya Iseka, according to FootMercato.

They report, via journalist Sébastien Denis, that the striker ‘is followed’ by Swansea and Spanish side Espanyol.

According to their information, the Welsh club are looking for a permanent transfer, while Espanyol are eyeing up a loan deal with an option to buy.

At this stage there’s no mention of the kind of fee that Swansea are looking to pay, nor whether Toulouse are interested in selling the striker, who arrived in a £1.13m deal from RSC Anderlecht two years ago.

There’s every chance they might be, though, given the 22-year-old only managed two goals in 23 games last season and managed just 855 minutes in total.

Swansea, for their part, are already well-stocked when it comes to centre forwards and have already paid £800,000 to sign Jamal Lowe from Wigan earlier this summer.

It seems manager Steve Cooper may want an extra body, though, and has turned his attention to Iseka to fill the gap.
