Swansea striker Borja Baston subject of enquiry from Villarreal

Villarreal have enquired about signing Swansea striker Borja Baston, according to Sky sources.
It is understood that a loan deal is most likely for the Spaniard, who joined the Swans in the summer for a club record fee of £15.5m from Atletico Madrid.
However, the 24-year-old has only made 13 Premier League appearances this season and scored just one goal, in his side's 3-2 defeat to Arsenal in October.
Baston started his career at Atletico but was sent on loan to five Spanish sides before his move to the Liberty Stadium in August.
He impressed at Eibar last season, scoring 19 goals in 39 appearances for the La Liga side but has failed to replicate that goalscoring form this season.
Swansea have allowed forward Marvin Emnes to re-join Blackburn on loan for the rest of the season and earlier this month Swans boss Paul Clement said he was determined to hang on to reported Chelsea target Fernando Llorente.
