Swansea City boss Bob Bradley has revealed a shock interest in signing former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov on a free transfer.
Bob Bradley has revealed he is interested in bringing former Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur star, Dimitar Berbatov to the Liberty Stadium.
The 35-year-old is currently without a club having left Greek club PAOK in the summer and Bob Bradley is interested in making him a Swansea City player.
Swansea have struggled for goals this season with summer signings Borja Baston and Fernando Llorente both struggling to find the net in the Premier League.

The South Wales club are already battling relegation and defeat to Stoke City on Monday night left them five points from safety heading into a tough run of fixtures.
Bradley mentioned his interest in the Bulgarian striker at this morning’s press conference, which was published by WalesOnline. He said: “I actually saw him in May at the celebration game for Stoichkov [Hristo] in Sofia.
“I’ve met him a few times and know he’s anxious to get back in the PL. Everybody in our club knows that, so when there’s discussions his name is mentioned, but where it goes we’ll see.
“He’s on our radar but there is a lot of things on our radar.”

Berbatov was a prize possession in his day and after making his name at Tottenham, he was snapped up by Sir Alex Ferguson on 2008 for a fee of just over £30 million.
He went on to become the first Bulgarian player to feature in a Premier League-winning team and lifted the trophy twice during his time at Old Trafford.
Berbatov may be far passed his prime but Swansea need all the help they can get to steer away from the drop and his natural finishing ability may be well worth acquiring.
