Swansea City have opened talks with former West Brom midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu, according to reports.

The Scottish Sun claims the Swans have held positive talks with the 31-year-old, who is currently a free agent having made the decision to leave Scottish Premier League, although there is believed to be interest from several other Championship clubs.

Mulumbu impressed during his short spell in Scotland, helping Kilmarnock finish fifth under the guidance of former Baggies boss Steve Clarke.

The club were understood to be keen on keeping the midfielder, who's spent most of the summer weighing up his options.

The Congo international was linked with a move to Ligue 1 with Bordeaux earlier in the summer, only for a move to break down due to off-the-pitch uncertainty at the club.

Reports suggest he could now be on the way to SA1, with boss Graham Potter keen to bolster his midfield options having missed out on Brentford's Ryan Woods in the summer transfer window, while also letting go of Sam Clucas on deadline day.

Meanwhile, Jay Fulton's current injury has only served to further emphasise the need for more bodies.

Mulumbu was a regular for West Brom during six seasons in the Premier League, and Potter could subsequently see him as the ideal candidate to inject some much-needed experience into his young squad.
