Reports claim than Nottingham Forest are lining up a bid in excess of £750,000 for Swansea midfielder Andrea Orlandi.

Signed from Spanish giants Barcelona back in 2007, Orlandi has shown his versatility from playing on the wing and his ability to play at the heart of the midfield. However with the rumour mill in overdrive with the opening of the January transfer window just a few days away the Star claims that Forest manager Billy Davis is about to try and snare the Spaniard.

It has been no secret that Swansea boss Paulo Sousa wants to trim down his already swelling squad but the likelihood of Orlandi being one of those departed players looks slim as the 25 year old looks set to be firmly in Sousa's long term plans for the team.

 Silly season begins again how we have missed it.....
