Report: Swansea keen on Ogenyi Onazi

Swansea are keeping tabs on Lazio and Nigerian midfielder Ogenyi Onazi The Mirror reports.

The Welsh club who recently sold Jonjo Shelvey to Newcastle are looking to replace him with the Nigerian combative midfielder and his Serie A side are willing to let Onazi depart, with Werder Bremen also keen.

However, Bremen are only interested in a loan deal while Lazio are eager to bring in some much-needed cash.

That puts Swansea at the front of the queue for Onazi, who could cost £7m.

Ogenyi Onazi had been previously linked with a move to a couple of Premier League clubs in the past.
