Welsh giants Swansea City are plotting a swoop for Feyenoord midfielder Jordy Clasie, but it remains to be seen whether the Premier League club can persuade the Rotterdam giants to sell.

Clasie helped Feyenoord to a second place finish in the Eredivisie this season and as a result they will play Champions League football in 2014/15.




Swansea meanwhile finished 12th in the Premier League this term following a turbulent season during which they sacked Michael Laudrup as manager.

Now, firmly in the thick of summer transfer planning, Swansea want Clasie, according to Dutch magazine Voetbal International.

Feyenoord will be keen to keep hold of the 22-year-old, especially with Champions League football on the horizon.

Clasie has long been tipped for the top and is rated as one of the most naturally gifted midfielders in the Netherlands.

He has been included in Louis van Gaal's preliminary 30-man World Cup squad.
