Swansea City are pushing hard to snap up Inter Milan centre-back Andrea Ranocchia amid competition from a number of other clubs, including Hull City.
Ranocchia has slipped firmly out of favour at the San Siro and is looking to move on to secure regular game time for the second half of the season.
He favours a move to the Premier League, but he has not completely dismissed an offer from Russian giants Zenit St. Petersburg.
It is Swansea who are pushing hardest to secure his signature though, according to reports in Italy.
