Soriano nears Swansea switch

Jonathan Soriano looks set to become a Swansea player after a deal was agreed with Barcelona. The player scored 31 goals in 31 games for the Barcelona B side.

It is understood that a fee in the region of £2m has been agreed for the striker.

At this time, the name of the player has not been announced but sources at eyefootball.com have discovered that Soriano is the name that Swansea are looking to bring in.

"I will be meeting with the representative of a player that we feel will be perfect for Swansea City," chairman Huw Jenkins told the club's official website.

"He has the talent that would fit in to the style in which we believe in, and we are hopeful of him coming here.

"By flying out to meet his representative, I hope we can agree a deal within the next few days. We will talk about what we want to achieve as a club, and what the player wishes to achieve too.

"After the arrival of Danny Graham and the recent news regarding Steven Caulker - along with Angel Rangel committing his future to the club - this would add to the feel-good factor around the club.

"We are determined to continue the good work put in over the last few years, and we will do it the way which is best for Swansea City."
