Swansea face new Benfica competition for Castaignos

Swansea City face a fresh battle to land FC Twente striker Luc Castaignos.

Swansea have agreed a fee of €8.5 million with Twente for the exciting forward. However, TC Tubantia says interest from Benfica has turned the player's head.

Benfica see Castaignos as a replacement for Lazar Markovic, who is interesting Chelsea and Liverpool.
