Newcastle United and West Ham United are reportedly keen on Swansea City goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.

Lukasz Fabianski of Swansea City cries as he leaves the pitch during the Premier League match between Swansea City and Stoke City at Liberty Stadium on May 13, 2018 in Swansea, Wales.

According to The Guardian, Newcastle United and West Ham United are just two of the clubs looking to sign Swansea City goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski this summer.

Swansea needed a miracle on Sunday afternoon to stay in the Premier League, but their 2-1 defeat to Stoke City sealed their relegation to the Championship.

Carlos Carvalhal looks set to lose his job as Swansea boss, and a host of players are also expected to depart the Liberty Stadium, with Alfie Mawson and Ki Sung-yueng on their way out.

Now, The Guardian report that goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is also attracting major interest, with four Premier League clubs thought to be keen on the Pole, who will cost around £5million.

Lukasz Fabianski of Swansea City reacts during the Premier League match between Manchester City and Swansea City at Etihad Stadium on April 22, 2018 in Manchester, England.

Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, Watford and West Ham United are all allegedly interested in the former Arsenal man, who has impressed since joining Swansea back in 2014.

The 33-year-old was something of a flop at Arsenal, but has been a solid first-choice stopper for Swansea, and is almost certainly destined for a return to the Premier League rather than playing in the Championship.

Newcastle may want Fabianski to challenge with Martin Dubravka once he signs a permanent deal, whilst West Ham could see both Joe Hart and Adrian leave this summer, with Fabianski a steady, experienced replacement and a potential stopgap until a younger shot-stopper can take over.
