West Brom keen to offload Grant
West Brom are keen to offload out-of-favour striker Karlan Grant this summer, say reports in Birmingham.
The 25-year-old is not seen as part of Carlos Corberan's plans at The Hawthorns. He has three years left on his contract in the west Midlands but he is being deemed surplus to requirements.
Swansea tried and failed to sign Grant in January, with co-owner Jason Levien revealing they planned to make the stiker their highest-paid player. To get the latest Swans news sent straight to your inbox, sign up here.

He said in an interview with the Supporters' Trust a couple of days after the window closed: "Jake (Silverstein) and I have spent many hours and I've talked with Josh (Marsh) at length about this and Jake and Russ have spoken about it as well.
"There's a lot to learn from this. I think we've got an execution. We've got to be quicker. We've got to have more names on our list, maybe be a little broader in our scope.
"We've got to create our own set of deadlines outside of the deadlines provided for by the league and by the governing body. We ultimately had a player who we agreed terms with, who we were told the club agreed to terms with, who would have been the highest-paid player on the squad on a weekly basis, who had a prolific goalscoring track record in past years.
"But we went to the deadline and, literally as the moment the deadline hit, the other side decided it wasn't the right decision which was outside of our control."
The deal ultimately fell through and Grant remained with the Baggies. Rangers are said to be interested in signing him this summer.
Swans set for another compensation wrangle
Swansea are set for a second compensation wrangle should Michael Duff be the man they elect to be Russell Martin's successor.
Swansea and Southampton have been locked in weeks-long talks over the fee due to take Martin from south Wales to St Mary's, with the dispute finally set to come to an end imminently
However, should Swansea follow up their approach for Barnsley manager Michael Duff with an official offer, there will be another compensation package to sort.
Duff still has two years left on his Oakwell contract, meaning Swansea would have to stump up cash to bring him to SA1.
Swansea are poised to jet off to Spain next Sunday for a training camp. They then return on Saturday, July 1.
Rodgers re-joins Celtic
Former Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers has been appointed Celtic boss for a second time. The Northern Irishman returns to Parkhead to replace Ange Postecoglou, who has headed south to take the reins at Tottenham.
Rodgers is back in football having been sacked by Leicester City earlier on this season.
"I am really delighted to return to Celtic and I am hugely excited by this great opportunity," said Rodgers.
"When I was given the privilege of being asked to join the club again, it was a very simple decision for me and my family.
"We have enjoyed some great times at Celtic before and this will be my goal again, to deliver good football, ensure we have a team we all love to watch and ultimately bring more success to our fans.
"Ange has done some brilliant work across the last two years and I will be doing all I can to maintain Celtic's momentum as we face into all our domestic and European challenges.
"We have a hugely impressive and talented group of players and staff at the club, and I am really looking forward to meeting up with them all and then getting straight down to work.
"The club is in fantastic condition at all levels and I would like to thank the board for putting their trust in me to take the team forward. We will work very closely together as we strive to bring that success to our supporters. Let's get to work!"
