Swansea City boss Garry Monk hasn't shelved his interest in Almeria midfielder Ramon Azeez.
The 21 year-old Nigerian has found himself frozen out at Almeria this season and is yet to take the field.
Local media are perplexed by Azeez's treatment, though coach Francisco insists the youngster simply hasn't warranted a place in his XI.
Meanwhile, Swansea are monitoring developments, having come close to prising the youngster away from Almeria over the summer.
The 21-year-old was named Young Player of the Year at the La Liga club last term and capped a stellar season by being named in the Nigeria squad for the World Cup.
Azeez also was voted the third best at the Under-17 World Cup in 2007, and captained Nigeria to the quarter-finals of the Under-20 competition three years later.
