Swansea City reportedly had scouts in attendance at France's international friendly with Colombia on Friday night.

Their focus was on previous target Santiago Arias, the right-back they have been keeping track of since January 2017.

A move for the PSV star was close last August but was complicated on deadline day as the defender jetted off to South America on international duty.

Talks were held between the parties over the summer, but no deal materialised and Swansea went into the season with Angel Rangel, Kyle Naughton and Martin Olsson as their only recognised full-backs.

But it now seems that interest has been rekindled in the 26-year-old, who has turned out 26 times for the Dutch side this season, scoring three times.

Arias played the full 90 minutes in a comeback win over Didier Deschamps' men in Paris.

The right-back is contracted to PSV until June 2019 and is valued at around £9million.

Last summer he was keen on a fresh challenge.

"It's time to leave," he told De Telegraaf .

"I feel strong, learned a lot in the Eredivisie. Now it's a good time to take a next step.

"I have to wait, it's not my decision."

Swansea are in the market for another full-back this summer, with Rangel recovering from long-term injury and Olsson the only left-back on the roster.

Arias is primarily a right-back but could fill in on the left or in a centre-back three.
