Swansea City are interested in an out-of-favour Everton striker to bolster their attacking options for the second half of Premier League season, according to reports in France.

The Swans are one of a number of British clubs keeping tabs on 33-year-old Arouna Koné, who has found himself on the periphery at Goodison Park since Ronald Koeman took over.

Koné has found his playing time severely limited this season, making only six appearances totalling just 76 minutes on the pitch.

The forward is thought to be of interest to Swansea's fellow Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace as well as Championship clubs QPR and Wolves.

Swansea have shown interest in Koné before, tracking the player before he joined Everton from Wigan in 2013.

However, he has not featured in the League for Koeman's side since September and could be a cheap option for sides looking to add some firepower up front.

Swansea manager Paul Clement is known to be considering his attacking options, particularly if Chelsea step up their interest in Fernando Llorente.

The World Cup winner is not thought to have had his head turned by Antonio Conte's interest, but Clement is looking to bolster his frontline all the same.

Koné has failed to find the net with any regularity at Goodison Park however, with his 59 appearances yielding just 10 goals.

He joined Everton along side his then manager Roberto Martinez, having played a vital part in Wigan winning the FA Cup in 2013.

As well as Koné, Swansea are also monitoring the situation of Leonardo Ulloa at Leicester City. The Argentine forward handed in a transfer request yesterday and is of interest to a number of Premier League and La Liga clubs.
