Swansea City confirm that Liverpool approached them over a possible move for midfielder Joe Allen.

Swansea City have confirmed that Liverpool approached them over the availability of midfielder Joe Allen.

The 22-year-old, who is currently on Olympic duty with Great Britain, has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield where he would be reunited with manager Brendan Rodgers.

"Swansea can confirm that Liverpool have expressed an interest in Joe Allen, despite a written agreement with Liverpool not to approach any players within the 12-month period of former manager Brendan Rodgers leaving for Anfield," read a statement on the Swans' official website.

"There has also been interest from other clubs regarding his possible availability and the club is due to speak to Joe, as originally planned, about the situation when he returns from GB duty.

"The club is extremely disappointed that speculation regarding certain aspects of his contract have been released to the media by parties outside the club."

Allen signed his first professional contract with Swansea in 2007.
