Swansea and Aston Villa eye Jordan Ayew and Neil Taylor swap - sources

Swansea and Aston Villa are in talks over a potential swap deal involving Jordan Ayew and Neil Taylor, sources close to the Midlands club have told ESPN FC.

Swansea are keen to bolster their attacking options before the close of the transfer window and are lining up a move for Ayew, the younger brother of former Swansea striker Andre Ayew (now at West Ham), who has scored 10 goals in 58 appearances for Villa since joining the club in 2015 from Lorient.

Ayew is currently away on international duty with Ghana at the African Nations Cup but Villa are ready to offer the striker as part of a deal for Swansea defender Taylor.
