Swansea pushing to close Jefferson Montero deal

Swansea City are pushing to close a deal for Jefferson Montero.

WalesOnline says Swans are expected to complete the signing of £4m Ecuador international Montero in the next 24 hours.

The Monarcas Morelia winger is understood to be in Swansea to undergo a medical and finalise terms with chairman Huw Jenkins as the rest of the squad continue their pre-season tour of the US.

Montero, a long-time target for the Welsh club, would become Garry Monk's fifth summer signing, joining just days after Pablo Hernandez's departure for Al Arabi.
