Emmanuel Adebayor could be heading back to the Premier League with Swansea City if a deal involving striker Bafetimbi Gomis is finalized.
The Togolese international joined Turkish side Instanbul Basaksehir in January and helped them finished second and qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League.
The 33-year-old scored six goals in 11 matches for Basaksehir, including a beautiful hat-trick in his side's 4-0 defeat of rivals Galatasaray.
Frenchman Gomis spent the entire last season on loan at Olympique Marseille, where he hit the net 21 times in 33 appearances across all competition.
And it is understood that he has no plans at the Liberty Stadium after reports claimed Paul coach Clement hopes to catch in on the forward while is value is high.
The Swans have lodged a Gomis plus £1.75m for Adebayor who has always spoken about his desire to return to England.
The former Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid star recently said his lowest point of his career was joining Crystal Palace.
“I had some great experiences in England in clubs who are among the best in the country," he said on
Mirror
"The only error that I made was to sign for Crystal Palace in January 2016.
"I did it just to please my entourage, who were saying to me: 'Manu, you have to start playing again!' It was the worst decision of my career.”
