Although there is nothing concrete to link the club and player, the paper are confident enough that they are one of the Championship clubs interested in signing the highly rated goalkeeper.

Talking to the paper, Roberto Martinez said ”I would be surprised if he is not being followed by Championship teams ”He is coming off the back of a fantastic season in Scotland, where he is rated very, very highly. ”People who follow Scottish football believe he is a player who will be a No. 1 at a top European club a few years down the line. ”I know he has a couple of clubs in Scotland who would like to sign him, but I believe he doesn’t want to stay in Scotland. After that, it’s a case of which challenge he wants to take.

”Dorus has been down to have a look at Swansea, ”I believe every player who comes here should have a taste of the club before we formalise a contract. ”There’s nothing better than looking into the eyes of someone and seeing what kind of character they are. ”Now it’s about what Dorus wants to do with his future. He has a few options, so we will have to see where we are.”

Last summer Swansea lost out on long term target Roger Johnson who elected on a move to Ninian Park to join the Championship side and with De Vries being another long term target, Martinez would not want to lose out on his man although he states he has other interests

”He is one of the players who would fit in at Swansea City, but we haven’t spoken about a contract because I want to see if a player is fully committed before we start negotiating. ”He is one name, but there are another six we are thinking about for that position.”
