Swansea want to sign former Liverpool winger Ryan Babel in a £2m deal from Turkish club Kasimpasa. The 28-year-old spent four years at Anfield between 2007 and 2011.

Fulham are apparently considering a bid for Dutchman Babel.

Tottenham have joined Newcastle and Swansea in the race for former Liverpool and out-of-favour Hoffenheim winger Ryan Babel, 25.

Liverpool could be on the verge of sealing a deal with Ajax for 23-year-old Luis Suarez, with Dutch forward Ryan Babel a potential makeweight in a package worth about £18m.

The Reds hoped to use the proceeds from the proposed sale of Ryan Babel to Hoffenheim to fund a move for Suarez but midfielder Babel is ready to turn down the transfer in the hope of securing a loan move to former club Ajax.
