Franck Tabanou's Swansea City nightmare appears to be at an end after St-Etienne coach Christophe Galtier revealed an agreement has been reached over a loan move.

Tabanou wants out of the Swans after failing to nail down a first team spot since his £3.5m move in the summer.

The 26-year-old has yet to play a single minute of league football since his switch and has spoken out about his frustration.

Despite the impressive form of Neil Taylor, Tabanou’s absence has been the subject of much debate among Swans fans with the former France Under-21 international playing in just two League Cup games and the FA Cup disaster against Oxford.

Galtier said: "There is an agreement in principle between Swansea and Saint-Etienne. Tabanou wants to come back and I want to see Franck."

Speaking of his situation, Tabanou previously said: “It was not at all what I was expecting,” said Tabanou at the time.

“I had the impression they wanted to value me. I do not know why I am not being played.

“The hardest thing is to see there is not even competition. I am not even in the squad. I ask myself: why have they bought me? I cannot stay like this."

Another summer signing who looks to be on his way out is Eder, who has been linked with a move to Wolves.
