Swansea City could yet be in for a deadline day midfielder having been reported to have failed in a double Dutch move for midfielders Adam Maher and Hakim Ziyech.

The Swans were thought to have been content with their summer transfer window business after completing the signing of Barnsley centre-back in a £5m deal on Tuesday.

Manager Francesco Guidolin had stated he was happy with his group once they added a defender to cope with the loss of options following captain Ashley Williams’ £12m move to Everton.

But with the Italian handing over transfer responsibility to chairman Huw Jenkins, it seems the Swans could yet still have a midfielder on his radar after two late bids from talents in the Dutch Eredivisie.

Swansea are widely reported in Dutch media to have made moves for PSV midfielder Maher and FC Twente attacking midfielder Hakim Zieych.

Roma were also among those eyeing up 23-year-old Morroco international Zieych but Swansea’s firm interest was said to come too late to stop him signing a five-year deal at Ajax after a £9.3m fee was agreed.

And Netherlands cap Maher, who had fallen out of favour at PSV, was also already on his way to another club having a signed a season-long deal at Turkish Europa League outfit Osmanlispor.
