Swansea City should join the race for West Ham United’s Robert Snodgrass.

West Ham United have told Robert Snodgrass that he can leave the Hammers in this summer transfer window, either on a permanent move or on a loan deal, as reported by BBC.

The 29-year-old joined West Ham in the January transfer window from Hull City for a fee of around £10.2 million, reported by BBC Sport.

He has failed to make a mark at the London Stadium, and West Ham are now ready to offload him this summer.

The 23-capped Scotland international has no shortage of admirers though, as the likes of Leeds United, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are reportedly vying for his signature.

Should Swansea City make a move for him this summer?

Ideally, Snodgrass would love to continue in the Premier League, and Swansea can provide him that opportunity.

Swansea have lost Gylfi Sigurdsson to Everton, and Paul Clement has the money to spend.

The Scotland forward is nowhere near to Sigurdsson’s quality, but he still is a very good player and should be a superb addition to the squad.

Snodgrass’s stint with Hull City has shown that he is good enough at this level. Probably, he couldn’t handle the pressure of expectation at West Ham.

Swansea can give him the opportunity to play with freedom, and Clement might get the best out of him. The Swans may even try a loan move with a view to a permanent deal to make it a risk-free signing.

If the deal works out, it will turn out to be a master-stroke signing.

Swansea are reportedly interested in West Brom’s Nacer Chadli, but he would cost around £25 million, reported by The Times. In that case, they should opt for a cheaper alternative by signing Snodgrass.
