According to various reports, Swansea are looking to make a move for Southampton’s out of favour midfielder Gaston Ramirez this month.

The 25-year-old has featured only four times for Southampton this season and is yet to play a full match this campaign, but a struggling Swansea side appear to be the latest club to take an interest in the Uruguayan international.

However, the Swans are not the only side that are looking to add Ramirez to their squad this month, as former club Bologna have been heavily touted to re-sign the creative midfielder, as well as claims of an audacious loan move from Championship side Middlesbrough as they look to push on for promotion.

Ramirez’s contract at Southampton comes to a close in June and it comes as no surprise to see Saints trying to get some kind of fee for the Uruguay man, in an attempt to re-coup a small amount of what was once a club record fee of £12 million that they paid for him.

The creative midfielder’s talents are undoubted, however it has simply not worked out at Southampton and his time at the club has almost certainly come to an end and Swansea could look to pounce.

Could Ramirez be Swansea’s first new signing under new boss Francesco Guidolin?
