Arias has set his sights on a Premier League switch this summer with Everton, West Ham and Tottenham all interested.

But the Welsh side believe they are the front-runners in the race for the Colombian.

The Swans have held talks with the Dutch club with Arias, 25, also keen on the move.

Barnsley’s Andy Yaidom is seen as cheaper alternative for Paul Clement, who is looking to bolster in the full-back positions.

The long-serving Angel Rangel was hampered by injuries last season while Kyle Naughton struggled to win over Clement.

The Swansea boss could have to face up to losing prized asset Gylfi Sigurdsson this summer, with Everton interested and a return to Spurs also a possibilty.

And his former Iceland team-mate Eidur Gudjohnsen claimed the chance to play with a bigger club is likely to appeal.

“Gylfi has had a really good season,” said Gudjohnsen. “He’s obviously been one of the most important players in keeping Swansea in the Premier League.

“He’s got tremendous quality, but he can still improve on certain things whether he stays or go.

“But he’s come to an age where he might want to try his luck at a bigger club or even European football.

“It’s all down to him. If he’s happy where he is, he should stay.”
