Swansea are planning to make Junior Hoilett their first signing of the summer on a free transfer.

Canadian international Hoilett is out of contract at Queens Park Rangers and the Championship club are happy to offload the winger, who is on £45,000 a week thanks to a deal signed when they were in the Premier League.

Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins has been a long-time admirer of the 25-year-old, having tried to bring him to the Liberty Stadium in 2013, and it is thought both sides are confident of reaching an agreement.

The Swans are also looking at other wide options, with the futures of Jefferson Montero and Marvin Emnes appearing uncertain following the confirmation that Francesco Guidolin is staying on as manager.

Norwich’s Nathan Redmond is another player who has long been on Swansea’s radar, and the Welsh club would hope a cut-price deal may be possible following the Canaries’ relegation.

England winger Andros Townsend is also of interest after his impressive end-of-season form for also-down Newcastle.

In addition, Guidolin is keen on a permanent move for Hoilett’s QPR team-mate Leory Fer, who has performed solidly for the Swans during his loan spell.

“Leroy has been a good surprise for me,” said Guidolin of the Holland World Cup midfielder.

“When I arrived all the players were new to me, so I did not know him beforehand. He has helped the team in the last part of the season, he is a good player and it is possible he stays here.

“He is an option for us. I think he would like to stay and it would be a good option for us if we can get him to stay.”
