Swansea City accepts eight-figure Stoke City bid for Galbraith
Summary

Ethan Galbraith is set to leave Swansea City for Stoke City after the club accepted a bid reported to be in the eight-figure range. The Northern Ireland international midfielder, who joined Swansea from Leyton Orient last summer, is scheduled for a medical on Tuesday.
