"Alberto Paloschi was my player when we worked together at Parma," said Swansea head coach Francesco Guidolin, as reported by the BBC.

"He can play well in the Premier League because he is strong. I like him.”

The 26-year-old has eight goals and two assists in his 21 Serie A appearances so far this season.
