Swansea face a battle to hold on to striker Bafetimbi Gomis after Borussia Dortmund and Schalke stepped into the race to sign the France international. The 29-year-old is keen to leave and play Champions League football but it would leave Swansea needing to sign two strikers in light of losing Wilfried Bony to Manchester City. Crystal Palace have already lodged a £9.3million offer for Gomis but he wants a bigger club and Swansea had resolved to keep him until the end of the season when he has a clause set at £8m. Interest in Swansea striker Bafetimbi Gomis is rising after Borussia Dortmund and Schalke entered the chase . The Swans forward  reportedly has a £8million buy out clause in his contract at the end of the season .
