Roque Mesa has emerged as a target for La Liga side Sevilla, according to reports in Spain.

However, talk of the Spaniard moving on this month have been played down by Swansea City sources.

The midfielder has endured a frustrating stay in South Wales since his summer switch, with game-time coming at a premium for the 28-year-old.

Spanish publication AS and local radio in Seville state (via SportWitness) that Sevilla will revive their interest in the former Las Palmas man after trying to sign him before he put pen to paper for Swansea last June.

Little else has been revealed at present, including what type of loan it would be, but AS report that Sevilla would probably expect Swansea to pay part of his wages until the end of the campaign.

Sevilla believe Mesa's 'irregular' status at Swansea will aid them in their bid.

But sources from within the Liberty have stressed there is nothing in the rumours of a January switch for a player they paid £11million for in the summer.

Mesa has featured in 16 games so far this season for the Liberty club, but he has failed to nail down a starting spot, firstly under Paul Clement and recently under new boss Carlos Carvalhal.

Swansea have a plethora of midfielders to choose from, with Ki Sung-Yueng, Leroy Fer, Renato Sanches, Tom Carroll, Sam Clucas, Leon Britton and Jay Fulton at their disposal.

For his part, Mesa has always insisted he is happy in South Wales, despite not featuring as regularly as he would like.
