Sources: Joseph to sign four-year Swansea City contract after medical
Kyle Joseph has agreed a four-year contract as he puts finishing touches to his Swansea City move, Football Insider understands.
The teenage striker started a medical at the Welsh club yesterday.
A Swansea source has told Football Insider Joseph and the club are in the final stages of agreeing a deal.
Earlier today (11th June) this site revealed Joseph has undergone his medical ahead of a move from Wigan Athletic.
This site broke the news yesterday (10th June) that the striker, 19, had agreed to join the Welsh side ahead of a number of elite Premier League and Scottish clubs.
Joseph‘s Wigan deal expires next month but the Swans will pay a compensation fee of close to £1million.
Tottenham, Newcastle, Celtic and Rangers have all been credited with interest in Joseph.
It is understood the striker has chosen Swansea after hearing their plans for his development.
The London-born youngster joined Wigan aged 13 and signed his first professional contract in 2019.
Joseph has also been capped by Scotland at Under-18 and Under-19 level.

The club has confirmed star striker Andre Ayew will leave the club upon the expiry of his contract, leaving the Swans looking for more cover upfront.
Joseph missed a sizable chunk of last season with a back injury after breaking into the first team in October.
After making his professional debut he scored five goals from just 14 League One appearances.
