Swansea City near Joe Allen signing

Swansea City will re-sign midfielder Joe Allen from Liverpool once he returns from the European championships in France. The Wales international has failed to cement a regular starting role since his move to Anfield in 2012.

The 26-year-old has been in the papers in recent weeks after it was known that he would not extend his stay at the Merseyside outfit.

According to The Telegraph, the Swans have settled on a £10m sum for Allen, and the deal is likely to be made official on his return from Euro 2016 duty.

Allen, who came through the Swans' youth system, has earned 28 caps with his national side.
