Crystal Palace are interested in signing Gambian winger Modou Barrow from Premier League strugglers Swansea City, according to reports.

Crystal Palace have expressed an interest in signing Swansea City winger Modou Barrow, according to reports.

The 24-year-old has impressed for the Swans despite their troubled season so far, making 18 appearances.

According to Sky Sports News, Barrow has a relegation release clause of £5m in his contract and Swansea, who are bottom of the Premier League, are considering whether to sell him for a higher fee in the January window.

Championship leaders Newcastle reportedly made an enquiry about Barrow in the summer but were quoted upwards of £10m by the Swans and decided not to pursue a deal, but the Eagles are said to be monitoring the situation following the club's struggles.

Barrow - a Gambia international with five caps - joined Swansea from Swedish side Ostersunds FK in 2014 and has spent time on loan at Nottingham Forest and Blackburn Rovers.
