David Villa to join Swansea City?

Swansea City have been made the favourites to sign Spanish international David Villa from Barcelona.

Recent reports have claimed that the 31-year-old is eager to leave the Nou Camp during the January transfer window in order to gain regular starting action elsewhere.

Previously the centre-forward has been linked with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.

However, SkyBet have slashed the odds of Villa signing on at the Liberty Stadium to 8/11 following a series of bets.

It has been speculated that any move Villa is to make would be a loan switch, rather than a permanent one.
