Swansea are set to step up their interest in Nacer Chadli and Leonardo Ulloa after Fernando Llorente turned down a move to the Liberty Stadium.

The Swans are desperate to bring in forward options after offloading Bafetimbi Gomis, Eder and Alberto Paloschi already this summer.

The Welsh club had been keen on a move for the Sevilla striker, but his agent has ruled out a switch, stating the former Juventus man wishes to stay at Ramon Sanchz Pizjuan.

“Fernando will continue at Sevilla,” said Chus Llorente. “We have decided not to listen to other offers. Sevilla is a team of champions, and Fernando wants to succeed in it.

“He also believes it has the necessary conditions for a new project.”

Chadli has two years remaining on his contract at Tottenham, but grew frustrated at a lack of starting opportunities towards the end of last season and missed out on Belgium’s Euro 2016 squad.

Swansea are thought to have had a bid rejected for the 26-year-old but are prepared to return with an improved offer, while they are also set to follow up their inquiry for Ulloa.

The Argentinian scored six goals during Leicester’s incredible Premier League triumph but is thought to be concerned about the number of first-team opportunities he will get with Jamie Vardy and summer signing Ahmed Musa at the King Power Stadium.

Another man Swansea are interested in is West Brom defender James Chester. A bid for the Wales defender was rejected in January but his performances at Euro 2016 mean he is again attracting admiring glances.
