Swansea City agree fee to sign Gylfi Sigurdsson from Hoffenheim
Swansea City have agreed a fee of about £7.2m with Hoffenheim to sign loan midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson, BBC Sport Wales understands.
The Icelandic international and Swansea are expected to have talks regarding his personal terms this week.
Sigurdsson joined Swansea in January on loan from the German club until the end of the season.
The 22-year-old impressed during his spell at the Liberty Stadium and scored seven goals in 17 starts.
Hoffenheim signed Sigurdsson in 2010 for £6.5m from Reading, Swans boss Brendan Rodgers' former club.
Swansea's initial bid, thought to be close to £4m, was rejected by the Bundesliga club, who are keen to recoup the fee they paid for Sigurdsson.
The Welsh club earned £45.9m from television and prize money during their first season in the Premier League, finishing 11th in the table, and so have funds to strengthen the squad.
Sigurdsson said in April he would be happy to stay at the Liberty Stadium beyond the end of the season.
But Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins had admitted the Welsh club would struggle to keep hold of the midfielder.
