Swansea City Accepts Eight-Figure Bid from Stoke City for Midfielder Ethan Galbraith

Swansea City has accepted an eight-figure bid from Stoke City for midfielder Ethan Galbraith, bbc.co.uk reported. The 25-year-old Northern Ireland international is due to undergo a medical in the Potteries on Tuesday. Galbraith joined Swansea from Leyton Orient for £1.5 million last summer.

He scored four goals in 44 appearances, several at right-back. His current contract runs until 2028, with Swansea holding a 12-month extension option. Swansea sources said Galbraith had made clear he was unwilling to sign a new deal.

Swansea chose to sanction the exit rather than retain him against his wishes. The move ends Galbraith's one-year stay at Swansea after two prior seasons at Leyton Orient.
