SkyBet make Swansea City favourites to sign Newcastle United striker.
Popular bookmakers SkyBet have installed Swansea as the 4/1 favourites in the race to sign Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.
The Serbian has played second fiddle to Dwight Gayle for the Magpies so far this season, and has made just four Championship starts for Rafa Benitez’ side.

SkyBet list the Swans out in front of Crystal Palace at 7/1 and Aston Villa, who are long shots in the race to sign the striker at 16/1.
The 22-year-old moved to St James’ Park from Anderlecht in the summer of 2015, for a fee believed to be in the region of £14.5 million, and has gone on to score 14 goals in 50 appearances for Newcastle.

And Swansea are in desperate need of an established goalscorer, as they look to drag themselves away from relegation trouble.
Mitrovic’s contract with the Magpies does not expire until the summer of 2020, so he would still command a fairly substantial transfer fee, should he leave the club.
If Bob Bradley is serious about leading his side to safety though, a move for the Serbian would seem to make perfect sense.
