Swansea are in talks over a deal for Inter Milan defender Andrea Ranocchia, according to Sky in Italy.

The centre-half is an Italy international and has spent the past six years at Inter, but he was sent on loan to Sampdoria last season and has made only nine appearances this campaign.

Inter value Ranocchia at £5m and his agent has recently been in London, prompting local newspaper reports of interest from Tottenham.

Sky sources say this is not the case, but the 28-year-old could yet end up in the Premier League with Swansea.
