Josh Tymon is anticipated to finalize a transfer from Stoke City to Swansea on the final day of the summer transfer window, which would force Stoke to return to the full-back market in the closing moments of the window.

Tymon, now 24 years old, came to Stoke from Hull when he was 17 years old. Mark Hughes, who had just missed out on signing Tymon’s Hull teammate Andy Robertson as well, threw Tymon into the Premier League’s deep end.

But Alex Neil has switched to a back four, and Tymon’s future is uncertain now that Enda Stevens has become a free agent this summer. Swansea manager Michael Duff, who has been using wingbacks, announced his interest in the middle of last week. To earn Stoke’s approval, he had to significantly raise the bids that were already on the table. It didn’t appear like an agreement would be possible by yesterday afternoon.

A sum of approximately £2.7 million is said to have been approved this afternoon, and Tymon is now working to complete the deal.
