Swansea City looking to make more smart choices in January

As reported by The Daily Mail, Swansea City are looking to to sign Inter Milan’s experienced defender Andrea Ranocchia to their squad this January.

What’s the word?

Paul Clement has already added Luciano Narsingh, Tom Carroll and Martin Olsson to his new team this January and he could be set to add yet another name to his squad.

The Mail reckon he’s in the market for Inter Milan’s central defender Ranocchia and could pay £5m to land him.

The paper say a loan-to-buy option is another possibility and that could be a deal that suits all parties given his lack of first team action this season.

Another smart addition?

Paul Clement’s acquisitions this January all look like they could make a positive impact on Swansea’s season and Ranocchia is another who fits that bill.

The Italian international has excellent experience in Serie A and European competition and only injuries have halted his progress at the San Siro.

The defender has made just nine appearances for his club this season but a fresh start in the Premier League could be just what he needs to get himself back to the form that made him a regular for Italy.

Clement is building a team of quality and all this fresh talent can only be a boost to their hopes of staying in the Premier League come the end of the season.
