Swansea is on the verge of signing Gylfi Sigurdsson from German team Hoffenheim on a permanent basis after agreeing a fee and personal terms for the Iceland midfielder.

The Premier League club says Sigurdsson will move for a club-record 6.8 million pounds ($10.7 million) if he passes a medical examination this week.

The 22-year-old Sigurdsson spent the second half of last season on loan at the Welsh club and scored seven goals in 18 appearances.

Swansea says ''the club are delighted to have agreed terms with both player and club following Sigurdsson's hugely successful loan spell last season.''
