Reports from the Netherlands claim that a deal has been reached between Swansea City and Ajax for centre-back Mike van der Hoorn.

It is said that the Swans will pay €2.5 million for the 23-year-old centre-back.

He was linked with a move to South Wales earlier in the week as Francesco Guidolin looks to strengthen his squad ahead of his first full season in charge.

De Telegraaf now say that a deal has been reached, with der Hoorn saying that Swansea is a 'wonderful' club, and he will travel to Wales for negotiations next week.

Fox Sports Netherlands report that the players agent, Patrick van Diemen, has confirmed to them that a deal is almost finalised.

The 6ft 3in defender has made 33 appearances for the Dutch giants since signing from FC Twente three seasons ago, but has only a year to run on his contract.

AC Milan have also been linked with a move, but it appears that Swansea may well have won the race.
