The former Espanyol man, who scored against the Swans in a friendly in 2008, is thought to be in talks with chairman Huw Jenkins over a move to south west Wales.<\/p>\n
Jenkins flew to Barcelona yesterday to speak with the representative of an unnamed player, who is high on boss Brendan Rodgers' summer wish list.<\/p>\n
"I will be meeting with the representative of a player that we feel will be perfect for Swansea City," the Swans chairman told the official site.<\/p>\n
"He has the talent that would fit in to the style in which we believe in, and we are hopeful of him coming here.<\/p>\n
"By flying out to meet his representative, I hope we can agree a deal within the next few days. We will talk about what we want to achieve as a club, and what the player wishes to achieve too.<\/p>\n
"After the arrival of Danny Graham and the recent news regarding Steven Caulker – along with Angel Rangel committing his future to the club – this would add to the feelgood factor around the club.<\/p>\n
"We are determined to continue the good work put in over the last few years, and we will do it the way which is best for Swansea City."<\/p>\n
Soriano is one of the most potent strikers outside the Spanish top flight after netting 31 goals in just 34 starts for Barcelona's B team, who play in Liga Adelante – the second tier of football in Spain.<\/p>\n
He was thought to be on the way to Udinese as part of a part-exchange deal which would take Alexis Sanchez to the Nou Camp in a big money deal, but that move looks to have stalled.<\/p>\n
Should Soriano sign, it would be the 3rd summer signing following the acquisitions of Danny Graham and Steven Caulker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
