Swansea have agreed a deal with Tottenham Hotspur to sign defender Steven Caulker on a season-long loan.
The 19-year-old has impressed in previous loan spells at Yeovil Town and Bristol City and will strengthen the Swans' defence following their promotion to the Barclays Premier League.
The England Under-21 international will put pen to paper within the next week on a deal which will be reviewed in January.
City chairman Huw Jenkins told the club's official website: "We are delighted to have agreed terms with Tottenham regarding a deal for Steven.
"The deal has been very close for the last couple of weeks. I met (Tottenham chairman) Daniel Levy at a Premier League meeting in Darlington and spoke at length about Steven.
"We feel his general size and ability are perfect qualities to add to our team. Steven is a young, upcoming player that is a big talent, and he is looking forward to being part of our squad in the Premier League."
Caulker made his senior debut for Spurs in September 2010 in the Carling Cup tie against Arsenal.
He then went on loan to Bristol City where he scored twice in 30 appearances and won his first England Under 21 cap before a knee injury brought his campaign to a premature halt.
