Napoli defender Federico Fernandez in Swansea today

Swansea City are seeking to rush through a deal for Napoli defender Federico Fernandez.

Swans chiefs want to close the agreement before Saturday's Premier League kickoff against Manchester United.

The two clubs have agreed terms over a fee for Fernandez, who was packing his bags last night for the UK.

Fernandez will be in Wales today for a Swansea medical and to pen his contract.

The defender was part of Argentina's World Cup squad this summer.
