Roque Mesa's Swansea City exit has edged ever close after the Spanish midfielder was pictured at an airport in his homeland.

The 28-year-old arrived in Spain this afternoon when he touched down at San Pablo airport at 4.30pm.

It is the next stage in the confirmation of the playmaker's exit after he was left out of Carlos Caravalhal's FA Cup squad against Notts County on Saturday.

His loan departure would bring the curtain down on a frustrating stay in South Wales.

He arrived in late June to much fanfare for a fee of £11million.

Favourable reports from Spain suggested Swansea had found themselves a gem, but their struggles, coupled with a difficult adaptation period and a change in manager, has seen Mesa fail to put his maker down in SA1.

He last started a game in Carvalhal's first game in charge - the 2-1 win over Watford - but the Spaniard was hooked at half-time.

Sevilla are offering Mesa a route out of his frustrations and can offer him European football as they push for a top-four spot in La Liga.

It is not thought there is a compulsory buy option in the loan agreement.

He may now head to watch Sevilla's game against Getafe this evening.
