Swansea City to sign Christian Fuchs?

Swansea City are reportedly interested in signing Schalke 04 defender Christian Fuchs.

The 29-year-old will be out of contract with the Bundesliga side in the summer and is expected to move to another club.

Swansea manager Garry Monk is thought to be in the market for a left-back, having missed out on Norwich City's Martin Olsson during the January transfer window.

Fuchs, who has won 65 caps for Austria, is already free to talk to other clubs as the end of his contract approaches.

According to the South Wales Evening Post, his representative is in talks with Swansea over a potential switch to the Liberty Stadium.

Fuchs has scored three goals in 30 appearances for Schalke this season.
