Swansea City looked destined for the Premier League earlier in the season after a great run of form, but there are now serious doubts that even a play-off place will be achieved.

A terrible run of form from Steve Cooper's men has seen them lose ground on the top two, and the goals have dried up from their mainly-British team.

Cooper's squad is a far cry from the Swans line-ups of years gone by that has seen a number of talented foreigners grace the turn of both the Vetch Field and the Liberty Stadium.

Roberto Martinez helped open doors, both as a player and a manager, to talent coming in from the continent and Swansea fans have been lucky to see some top overseas players perform in their shirt.

But who are the top 10 to play for the club? Take a look at our gallery and see if you agree!

Not every striker that comes down from Scotland ends up being a success in the Football League, but this Trinidadian definitely was.

Scotland was a cheap pick-up for Swansea for a nominal fee, having notched a one in two record for St Johnstone, and scored 24 goals in 45 League One games in his debut season - getting a place in the PFA Team of the Year as well.

He carried on his incredible scoring form in his second and final season at the Liberty Stadium - he made the step up to the Championship with consummate ease with 21 goals before following Roberto Martinez to Wigan in the Premier League.

Fer's time in England was quite unfortunate in the sense that he was relegated from the Premier League with both Norwich and QPR, but he still stood out in those teams as a great player.

He spent far longer at Swansea than those two clubs but the same fate eventually fell on the Dutchman, however he did show his classy touch on a number of occasions in the top flight, and stayed when relegation happened in 2018.

Fer didn't have as much impact on a goalscoring front like a player like Scotland did, but his ability to play at the highest level gets him ahead of the Trinidad striker here.

Bodde's time at Swansea was cut short due to injury, but what a player he was.

The Dutchman was a key figure in Swansea's 2008 promotion to the Championship, and in his first season at that level he scored seven goals in 17 games from midfield - he was destined to be a Premier League player.

Tragically though, knee injuries would ruin the rest of his career.

His comebacks wouldn't ever take off but for the impact he had in his first year and a half at the Liberty Stadium, Bodde has to be in here and he was a real fan favourite.

Ayew was a bargain when he first arrived at the club in 2015, and ended up making the Swans a lot of money a season later when selling him to West Ham for over £20 million, having scored 12 Premier League goals.

But they spent all that money to bring him back again in 2018, but he wasn't able to save the club from relegation and he scored no goals in 12 appearances in the next few months in attempting to do so.

Due to his astronomical wages, Ayew would have been expected to have left the club by now, but after returning on loan from Fenerbahce in 2019 he got his head down and just played for the Swans.

He's scored 29 goals in the last two Championship seasons and whether or not he stays beyond the end of this season, Ayew has been a great servant to Swansea.

Rangel had a very underwhelming young career in Spain before Roberto Martinez brought him to England in 2007.

What followed was something that Swansea fans would not have expected - Rangel became the club's first-choice right back for the next 10 years, putting in consistent performance after consistent performance.

He was rarely on the scoresheet, scoring nine league goals in 328 appearances, but his defensive capabilities were far more important and his passion for the club over the years was unmatched.

He was that good for Swansea that Rangel was named in the Football League Team of the Decade in 2015 - a true award for his performances.

Martinez wasn't as good technically as some of these when he was at Swansea, but his influence both on and off the pitch cannot be underestimated.

He was really influential as well for Wigan years prior and when he arrived in Wales in 2003, he immediately became captain and helped save the club from relegation.

The Spaniard wasn't always a regular player under Kenny Jackett, but he still played 122 league games over three-and-a-half years before leaving in 2006.

Obviously what he went on to do as a manager of Swansea was also pretty special, but his playing talents for the club are probably slightly underrated.

The top four here all featured for the Swans during their Premier League days, and Vorm was a really solid hand between the sticks.

Vorm was a cheap purchase at £1.5 million and in his first season at the club - which was their debut year in the Premier League - he swept up the Player of the Year awards.

After three years in South Wales, Vorm attracted interest from Tottenham Hotspur - and that move would pretty much signal the end of his days of being a first-choice stopper.

Vorm only made 13 league appearances in the last six years so his stint at Swansea is probably forgotten by many, but he was a fine goalkeeper.

Is Michu the best one-season wonder in history? He may very well be.

A £2 million capture in 2012 from Spain, Michu went on to his 18 Premier League goals in 35 games stunning everyone with his scoring abilities and also won the club's Player of the Year award.

Unfortunately the following season wasn't as good. Just two goals in 17 outings followed and he ended up moving to Napoli on loan - somewhere he didn't end up featuring much.

Sadly his career faded away back to the lower leagues of Spain, but for that one season alone, Michu is a Swans great.

Swansea fans probably wouldn't have believed it in 2014 that when they signed Sigurdsson, they'd end up selling him for £40 million three years later.

Sigurdsson had an initial loan spell at the club in 2012, scoring seven goals in the Premier League before Tottenham swept in to purchase him from Hoffenheim.

The Iceman would return to South Wales in 2014 though in a swap deal with Ben Davies, and Swansea got their moneys worth for sure.

Sigurdsson scored 27 goals in 106 games, including some pearlers from long range, before Everton came in for him in 2017 for an astronomical club-record sale.

He scored lots of goals for Swansea and he made fans go wild, wild, wild and it lands Bony at the top of this list.

A club record £12 million paid to Vitesse in 2013 brought the Ivorian to the Liberty Stadium, and his power was just too much for a lot of Premier League defenders.

After 18 months at the club and 25 goals scored, Bony was signed by Manchester City for £25 million, but after an unsuccessful time of things he would find his way back to his spiritual home of South Wales in 2017.

The second stint wasn't as successful as he scored just two Premier League goals in a relegation season, but he remains a cult hero at Swansea and what a good player he was in his first spell.
