New Swansea coach Michael Laudrup is ready to make a move for out-of-contract striker Markus Rosenberg according to The Daily Mail.
The Danish coach has been instilled as the Liberty Stadium club’s coach after Brendan Rodgers opted to leave to join Liverpool, and it is believed that the new man has been given £15 million to spend on bringing in players to make the squad his own.
Rosenberg has been released by Werder Bremen, and as such is available on a free transfer, with newly-promoted sides Southampton and Reading also monitoring the forward’s situation.
However, the Swans are thought to be leading the race for Rosenberg, with Laudrup’s Scandinavian links a reason to convince the player to move to Wales.
Meanwhile, Swansea look to have lost out on Gylfi Sigurdssson, as the Icelandic midfielder is thought to be talking to other Premier League clubs.
The talented playmaker was close to a permanent move to the Liberty Stadium, but Rodgers’ departure has scuppered a deal and he is now expected to join his former boss at Anfield, despite interest from other English teams.
