Swansea City are monitoring Everton defender Tyias Browning ahead of a summer bid, according to reports.

The 22-year-old defender, who is currently out on loan with Championship side Preston North End, has recently signed a new contract at Goodison Park — meaning the Swans would have to pay a premium if they launched an offer.

Browning has found first team opportunities hard to come by at Everton, especially after the arrival of former Swansea captain Ashley Williams.

But The Sun on Sunday now claim Paul Clement is ready to add to his defensive options by luring the Everton academy product to the Liberty Stadium.

That's despite Browning recently signing a new two-and-a-half year deal on Merseyside.

The Englishman made a January loan move to Deepdale to gain first team football and has played five games for North End so far, impressing boss Simon Grayson.

Browning's best position is at right-back, but he can also play at centre back.

The 22-year-old may yet provide an extra option for the Swans, after Clement failed to land a central defender in the January transfer window.
