Newly promoted Swansea City have begun talks with Spanish midfielder Marcos Senna over a possible move to the Liberty Stadium.

Senna is out of contract after leaving La Liga side Villarreal at the end of last season and could be on his way to the Premier League with the Welsh side.

“Marcos Senna had a previous conversation by phone with Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers and that made him very proud and honoured with the possible interest of Swansea to have him in the squad for the Premier League,” Senna’s representative Ely Coimbra told the Western Mail.

“Marcos is very happy with the possibility and of course keen to play Premier League football, but we want to make very clear that we are right now on preliminary contacts.

“But of course Swansea City can be a very attractive option, since Mr Rodgers explained to Marcos his ideas about his team and part of Swansea’s project – which pleased him a lot – and obviously because of the nice and vibrant city of Swansea.”

Whilst the 34-year-old has won 28 caps for the Spanish national side and been part of the squad that won the European Championship 2008 he has struggled in recent times with injury and failed to make the Spain squad that won the World Cup in South Africa.
