Toon Knocked Back Again ... For Swansea?

Last Updated : 04-Jul-2014 by

Swansea City are reportedly in pole position to sign Marseille winger Dimitri Payet ahead of Newcastle United and Everton this summer.

The Swans have already signed Bafetimbi Gomis on a free-transfer and are looking to add another Frenchman in Dimitri Payet after enquiring about his availability to Marseille.

Marseille will ask for £6.5 million if they are to allow the 27-year-old to depart the club this summer and Swansea are hoping to wrap up a deal soon.
