Swansea City are moving for Sunderland midfielder Jack Colback.
The Mirror says Colback is keen to join them on a free transfer after failing to settle terms with the Wearsiders.
Colback's wages were low after he climbed through the ranks at Sunderland, and they will not give the 24-year-old the deal he wants.
However, Swansea are prepared to meet his £1million-a-year demands and Monk is keen to push through a move quickly.
