AC Milan are closing on a deal for Swansea City midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng.

Calciomercato.com says the Italian giants, who are understood to be keen on free transfers this summer, have already reached a "general agreement" and that a medical could only be a few weeks away from being arranged.

The midfielder's deal with the Swans expires in June.

There are also suggestions that his capture would help open the club up to markets in the Far East, with Ki understandably a hugely popular figure in his homeland.
