But the main question is if the League Two club can afford to offer sufficient money for the player to move.
Accrington Manager John Coleman said:
"We are trying to bring Ian here. We are in negotiations with Swansea at the moment," revealed Coleman.
"We are trying to put a package together that will be acceptable to both Swansea and Ian.
"Ian's a good footballer, but he hasn't played a lot of football this year.
"Getting injured was a big blow for him. The more games he plays, the better he'll get and, hopefully, we'll see the best of him over the Christmas period."
