English side Swansea will slap in an improved offer to Espanyol for their Ghanaian midfielder Wakaso Mubarak in the coming days, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.

The Premier League club are now willing to pay about 6.7m Euros to the Spanish side to help them sign the powerful midfielder, sources close to the player have told Ghana's leading football news outlet.

The Swans had a 4.5million Euros bid turned down last week as the Spanish club want in excess of 8m Euros for the player.

The Spanish side are expected to sell Mubarak this summer as they look to balance their books, but their vice-president Jose Luis Morlanes said the initial amount quoted by Swansea was not be enough to prise the 22-year-old away.

He said: â€œWe have received an offer of 4.5m Euros from a European club, but we will not sell for this amountâ€.

The midfielder, formerly of Elche and Villarreal, joined Espanyol in a bargain 400,000 Euros deal last summer and impressed during his maiden season in Catalonia.

His displays have alerted Laudrup, who has already signed Jordi Amat from Espanyol, while Juventus are also tracking him.

Having just signed Wilfried Bony from Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem for Â£12million last week, Mubarak could become the seventh signing this summer for Swansea, and takes their spending to approximately Â£20million after the arrivals of Jose Canas, Alejandro Pozuelo, Jordi Amat, Jonathan De Guzman and Jonjo Shelvey.
