HITC Sport understands Gianfranco Zola wants the Swansea winger.
Championship Birmingham City have launched a bid for Swansea City winger Wayne Routledge, HITC Sport understands.
The 32-year-old has been at The Liberty Stadium since 2011, and has been a regular ever since – featuring in 200 games for the club.
He was also involved in Paul Clement’s first game in charge of the club, when he started against Arsenal at the weekend – but the club are looking to make a number of changes.
Dutch winger Luciano Narsingh has arrived and with Routledge’s contract due to expire in the summer, they may well be open to letting him leave this month.
