Crystal Palace are interested in signing Swansea winger Modou Barrow, according to Sky sources.

The 24-year-old Gambian has impressed for the Swans despite their dismal season so far, making 18 appearances.

Championship leaders Newcastle made an enquiry about Barrow in the summer but were quoted upwards of £10m by the Swans and decided not to pursue a deal. Sky sources understand that Barrow has a relegation release clause of £5m in his contract and Swansea, who are bottom of the Premier League, are considerAnd it is understood the Eagles have asked to be kept informed of Swansea's position in case they do decide to make a sale.

Barrow - a Gambia international with five caps - joined Swansea from Swedish side Ostersunds FK in 2014 and has spent time on loan at Nottingham Forest and Blackburn Rovers.ing whether to sell him for a higher fee in the January window. I'd take him in a heartbeat but why would he come to a fellow relegation candidate ?

Another non scoring sprinter. Great. Why are we looking to buy off all the other s*** house sides. They're down the bottom for a reason

Reminds me if a certain Bolasie in his early days!

Like Bolasie he blows hot and cold but on his day can be unplayable.

It is the season of unsubstantiated rumours, speculative marketing and bulls*** tweets again. Yipee.

i think he is a great shout. Young improving pacey and good left foot. On negative side no right foot and we have Townsend already who plays a similar inverted winger style.
