Swansea bid for Cillessen

Swansea City have made a bid for NEC Nijmegen goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen.

The Premier League new boys are looking for a new number one keeper after Dorus De Vries opted for a free transfer to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Swans manager Brendan Rodgers saw an offer for Fulham goalkeeper David Stockdale fall through last week. Stockdale has since joined Championship side Ipswich Town on loan.

Cillessen, 22, has been attracting the attentions of Ajax this summer and received his first call-up to the Holland squad in May.

However, he will not be part of the Dutch squad that takes on England next month.
