Swansea City are keen to sign giant goalkeeper Warner Hahn when his contract at Heerenveen expires in the summer, according to Algemeen Dagblad.

With one of the biggest clubs in the Eredivisie once again underperforming this season, conceding chances at an alarming rate, one of the most reliable shot-stoppers on Dutch shores has had plenty of opportunities to stand out of late.

And stand out he has.

Heerenveen were stuck in tenth when the Eredivisie campaign was brought to a premature conclusion and without Hahn, their 6ft 6ins talisman, they would have finished even further adrift of the European places.

The Rotterdam-born glovesman might now have played his final game for the Frisian outfit, with his contract due to expire in July as it stands.

AD claims that Swansea are interested in luring Hahn to south Wales, although Steve Cooper’s side will face competition from Goztepe in Turkey and at least one MLS outfit.

The former PEC Zwolle ‘keeper, should he chose the Liberty Stadium, is likely to replace the Newcastle United loanee Freddie Woodman. Although, considering how impressive the England U20 World Cup winner has been this season, Hahn would have big gloves to fill in the Championship.
