Swansea City are targeting Deportivo La Coruna defender Pablo Insua.

Marca says Swansea are plotting a deadline day bid for the 23-year-old centre-back.

The player is currently halfway through his loan spell at Leganés, who he joined from Deportivo de la Coruña last July. Insua has impressed Swans manager and ex-Real Madrid assistant coach Paul Clement but prising him away from the Butarque will be anything but simple.

The defender is an undisputed first choice for Lega boss Asier Garitano and has only missed a handful of games so his departure would further complicate matters for the Pepineros who are immersed in a relegation battle. Leganés would not even contemplate letting him go without some sort of economic compensation.
