Michel Vorm has insisted he would only leave Swansea City for a top club - but has put Liverpool on red alert after admitting a reunion with Brendan Rodgers would be "special".

Vorm has been the subject of increasing transfer speculation with Barcelona, Arsenal and Rodgers' Liverpool all linked with the Holland international.

The Swans' have stressed they have no plans to cash-in on the £12m stopper, who they tied down to a new four-year-deal only seven months ago.

But while quotes attributed to him in his native Netherlands claimed he would only be tempted to quit the Liberty by the very best in the Premier League or abroad, he did appear open to linking-up with ex-Swans boss Rodgers at Anfield.

Reportedly quoted in Dutch football magazine Voetbal International, Vorm said: "A reunion with Rodgers would be special.

"The collaboration was very good last season. But for now (they have) Pepe Reina and it is not an issue."

A recent family visit to Barcelona forced both the player and Swans chairman Huw Jenkins to deny he was in talks with the Catalan giants having been tipped as a potential replacement for the outgoing Victor Valdes.

But while Arsenal have been reportedly interested for some time, it is clear and obvious that Rodgers is a huge admirer of the 29-year-old having brought him to South Wales from Utrecht in a £1.5m deal in August 2011.

And there have been strong suggestions on Merseyside he would be open to making an approach for Vorm to replace Pepe Reina, himself a touted target for Barca.

But the report went on: "My name is often mentioned with other clubs. It is all speculation but they come from somewhere. I do wonder what will happen when the goalie carousel starts, but I would only swap Swansea for a real top club in England or abroad.

"And in the summer the club may sell a few players, but no-one has indicated to me that I'm the player."
