SWANSEA have agreed a deal to appoint Ostersund’s boss Graham Potter as their new gaffer.
The 43-year-old worked wonders with the Swedish side, taking them from the fourth tier to the top flight before taking on Arsenal in the Europa League.
The Championship side have been after a replacement for Carlos Carvalhal who failed to keep the club in the Premier League.
And now they have agreed a compensation package and a personal deal with the Solihull-born manager.
Potter will jet into Wales early next week to confirm the deal.
A statement on their website read: “Swansea can confirm a compensation package has been finalised with Ostersund for the services of Graham Potter.
“The club has also agreed personal terms with Potter along with his assistant Billy Reid and recruitment analyst Kyle Macauley, who are set to join him at the Liberty.
“Potter has spent over seven years with Ostersunds. He has guided the club to three promotions – taking them from the fourth tier to the top flight – and won the Swedish Cup in 2017.
“The 43-year-old is due in Swansea early next week to complete his move to Wales.”
