Swansea City agree Wayne Routledge fee

Swansea City have agreed a fee with Newcastle United for winger Wayne Routledge.

After spending the second half of last season on loan at Queen Parks Rangers, Routledge has been linked with a number of clubs over the summer.

Championship clubs Birmingham City, Leicester City and Nottingham Forest have all reportedly submitted bids for the 26-year-old but it now appears he is poised for a switch to Swansea.

The former Crystal Palace midfielder, who has agreed personal terms with the newly-promoted side, will undergo a medical tomorrow.

Routledge is likely to cost the Swans £1.5m.
