Swansea City will announce the loan capture of Iceland international <span>Gylfi Sigurdsson  this week. The talented midfielder is very highly rated but has fallen out of favour at Bundesliga club Hoffenheim.</span>

Sigurdsson will return to England, where he has previously spent 3 years with Reading, and will link up with Brendan Rogers on January 5th.<br />

Swansea also have the option to make the deal permanent in the summer, should the Welsh side retain Premier League status and the player impresses during his loan spell.<br />

"I'm really pleased that agreement has been reached between the teams and it can be said that the dream is true for me to get into the Premier League," Sigurdsson said.<br />

"'I first heard of interested Swansea when I came home to Christmas and the last few days have been ongoing negotiations between Hoffenheim and Swansea and today reached agreement between them.



"I follow very closely the Premiership and I have both seen and heard to Swansea play good football. It does not surprise me because I played under manager Brendan Rodgers at Reading and he wants his team plays the ball from the last man."
