Swansea ready to break transfer record

 

Swansea are readying a club transfer record bid for striker Borja Baston, reports the South Wales Evening Post. 

 

The Swans remain in the market for striking reinforcements, despite Fernando Llorente’s capture on Friday evening. 

 

The departures of Alberto Paloschi and Bafetimbi Gomis, coupled with Andre Ayew’s impending move to West Ham, leaves the club light of attacking options. 

 

Francesco Guidolin revealed at the weekend that a deal that would see Borja sign for Swansea was close, with a club record £15m fee mooted.
