Swansea City have recently been linked with Italian international striker, Giuseppe Rossi.

Reports from Italy claim that Swansea, Liverpool, Sunderland, Watford and West Ham are all interested in signing up the former Manchester United forward.

Rossi has suddenly fallen out of favour with Paulo Sousa’s Fiorentina in the Serie A, and is edging close the exit door.

The 30-capped Italian international made just five appearances for Manchester United from 2004 until 2007, and spent a spent a rather unsuccessful few months on loan at Newcastle in 2006 too.

Although, he left the Premier League for La Liga in 2007 and his fortunes changed as he had a tremendous six years at Villareal, netting 54 goals in 136 games.

He then left Villareal for Fiorentina in 2013 and has had mixed emotions in his home country. However, now, he’s not the first choice striker for The Purples.

Rossi’s now open to a move away from Fiorentina, and a host of Premiership sides are ready to pounce on the American-born forward. Though, a loan move could be the prefferd option for him.

With Swansea’s current struggles in front of goal, it’s evident that they need a new striker. Could Rossi be the solution?
