Joe Allen has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for clubs competing in the Premier League and in Spain.

After a six-year spell with Stoke City, the Wales international is expected to depart the Potters this summer at the end of his contract.

According to Wales Online, Swansea City are currently one of the frontrunners to sign the 32-year-old, who started his career at the club.

However, the same report says that Fulham and Bournemouth are weighing up an offer for the midfielder after earning promotion to the Premier League.

Furthermore, Allen is said to be highly-regarded in Spain with four clubs - presumably from La Liga - contemplating whether to offer the player a deal.

Allen made 38 starts and three substitute appearances in the Championship this season as Stoke only secured a mid-table position.
