Swansea City enter fray for Simon Cox?

Swansea City have reportedly made an approach for West Bromwich Albion striker Simon Cox.

The Republic of Ireland international, who has been linked with a switch away from the Hawthorns, has previously been touted as a potential candidate for Blackburn Rovers.

It now appears that new Swansea boss Michael Laudrup is keen to add the 25-year-old to his side for the coming Premier League campaign, according to Sky Sports News.

Cox made the switch to the Baggies in 2009 from Swindon Town.
