Swansea City are set to bolster their under-23 squad with the signing of Coventry City's Welsh youngster Cian Harries.

The Birmingham-born 20-year-old made 16 appearances for the Sky Blues last season, and also had a brief trial spell with Liverpool in January.

He helped Coventry reach the final of the Checkatrade Trophy, and played the full 90 minutes at Wembley as the then League One side - who have since been relegated to League Two - beat Wycombe to claim the silverware

He went on to be selected in Robert Page's Wales Under-20 squad for the Toulon tournament, and he started two of the three games as the Young Dragons were eliminated in the group stage of the prestigious competition.

It is thought a deal for Harries to join Cameron Toshack and Gary Richards' double winners has largely been agreed, but is unlikely to be formally completed once the age-grade side return from their current pre-season tour to Ireland.

Swansea had also been linked with a move for Harries' club and international team-mate George Thomas.

Swansea's Under-23s won the Premier League 2 Division 2 title last season, as well as claiming Premier League Cup glory.

This season they will face off against the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton in Division 1.

Further down the academy ranks, Swansea have already added Kees de Boer, Arnor Gudjohnsen and Jayden Reid.
